At least under some circumstances, make 3.81 doesn't print a final error 
message at the end of a parallel build that has failed.  Specifically, it 
prints an error message and then the "waiting for unfinished jobs" output.  
Since the latter may include a lot of material, none of which looks like an 
error has happened, the user may be left with the impression that the build 
succeeded, unless they happen to check $? or are able to scroll back.

The suggested fix is to have make *always* print an error indication as the 
last line of its output if the build has failed.

Thanks,
Mike
