Nope.
1. I run 'make clean' (which deletes .o files) and then 'make', 
they're still there.
2. Manually delete *.o, run 'make', they're still there.

I don't doubt that there may be problems with the makefile or how 
others experience make on their machines. I'm far from being an 
expert on make and makefiles. I wrote the makefile to just be a 
sample as a convenience to others and out of dissatisfaction with the 
AVR Freaks makefile(s) which IMHO hide the workings of make and make 
it confusing to a new user.
