make 3.79 status problem

[Albert L. Ting]

Doing a "make -q" with the following makefile returns a 1 status where it
should really return a 0 status.  Can this be fixed?  I know I could wrap
an ifndef expression around the ALL commands, but I use this a lot.

Thanks,
Albert

        commands :=

        .PHONY: all

        all: foo
                $(commands)

        foo: bar
                touch foo


$ make -q
$ echo $status
$ 1
