In a very few cases the Makefile seems not to return the error status, but more usually it's my own idiocies - it pays to understand *how* your own scripts fail !
At one time, we used to see a lot of problems from people using the 'package users' hint. Nowadays it is hardly ever mentioned - if people are using it, please mention that if you have a compile problem.
