Perhaps the same reason I posted a question on how to handle
non-zero exit
codes without using '-' (IGNORE_ERROR) in front of a
command. My compiler
also returns a non-zero exit code in case of (just)
warnings. Danny, you
might want want to check that post. Subject = "Ignore
error", posted by me.
Hang on, this one:

I don't see any way that a MAKESTATUS make macro could
possibly help
your situation.  All that would do is set the make variable
MAKESTATUS
to the exit code of the command--that is irrelevant to your
issue.
