We found a scenario when when ctest does not detect a build error.

This occurs when clang is invoked as a linker and one of the libraries is not 
found:

     /Developer/usr/bin/clang++ -LDIR1 -LDIR2  -lib1 -lib2 -lib3 [...] -o MyApp
     ld: library not found for -lprofile_rt
     Command /Developer/usr/bin/clang++ failed with exit code 1

The two lines printed after this invocation are not matched by any of the 
regular expressions defined in Source/CTest/cmCTestBuildHandler.cxx

So, in our case, we have an incomplete build, and the error is not reported to 
the dashboard.

I think lines matching "clang\+* failed with exit code" should be considered 
errors and reported as such.

Yes.  Please format a patch for cmCTestBuildHandler.cxx to update
cmCTestErrorMatches accordingly.

Meanwhile you can probably work around this by adding the regex to
CTEST_CUSTOM_ERROR_MATCH in CTestCustom at the top of the project.

Alternatively you should be able to run the dashboards with the
CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option.  For Makefile builds it instruments
the compiler and linker invocations and checks the return code
and looks at output on stderr.
