make problem -- does not terminate on error

[Randall R Schulz]

Andrew,

Have you tried running the command that fails (in the same way that "make" 
runs it under the circumstances in question) in a shell and seeing what 
error status it reports back? Is it indeed reporting a non-zero exit status 
(in addition to printing an error diagnostic)?
