ignored

_______________________________________________________
Details:
While including a makefile, if a fatal error (e.g., no more filehandles
available) is generated, make does not give any error or warning, even if the
include is not preceded by a '-'.
This can be reproduced like so, assuming that the top-level makefile is named
'make.bug':
include make.bug
echo ::
@echo echoing
This will recurse until the filehandle limit is hit, then complete with no
diagnostics nor error status.
I think that an error like exceeding the filehandle limit should *always*
draw an immediate fatal error, as this is not the kind of error that should
ever be ignored.
