Follow-up Comment #2:

In the next release we use fork() not vfork() and from what I can tell the
code definitely considers a failure to fork to cause the target to be marked
failed.

However, I can't seem to reproduce this problem.  If I set my ulimit to 6 (on
a basic login) then it all works, but if I set it to 5 then I get a failure in
the shell, not make.  Still I think this is fixed; if not please add a
comment.


$ ./make -f mkf4 
--no-print-directory -- INC=yes
ONE
/bin/sh: Cannot fork
1.inc:1: recipe for target '1' failed
make[1]: *** [1] Error 2
mkf4:1: recipe for target 'recurse' failed
make: *** [recurse] Error 2
