Hang on. Are you really suggesting to run 'make' every time the
debugger is started to make sure the  binary is up-to-date??

This would add seconds to the debugger startup time even for a "hello
world" program. Starting the debugger on a project the size of
KDevelop's codebase would be something you would do your utmost to
avoid - we could be talking minutes.

I haven't looked at how it's implemented, but doesn't the build
manager already attempt to keep track of the codebase state, and only
rebuild if "needed"?
