We could change the default, and let those who like the current behaviour run 'make WORLDOPTS=-k'. Since the original reasons for this are less valid now (builds are much faster than they once were), and since it catches a lot of people out, maybe now is a good time to change the default. Would anyone object strongly to that? >World ran to completion, there were no errors.

Maybe it'd be better to have cpp set to just 'cpp'? It used to have a full path because it used to be set to /lib/cpp, which isn't likely to be in anyone's search path. BTW, the /bin/cpp setting broke my RH 5.2 test build until I set it to /lib/cpp in host.def. I don't remember why it was changed from /lib/cpp, unless recent Linux distros don't have that link anymore.
