I'm not sure that I agree with this approach.
I had an issue when building images recently where I had something in the image
that was blowing it up beyond flash size, but because the build system refused
to build the image, I couldn't easly figure out what was casuing it.
I've also had a case where I wanted to build an ext* image as well as a
compressed image, but the build system aborted and didn't build any of them
because the ext image would have been too large.
Throwing an error out in the middle of the build isn't going to work (it is lost
in the noise), but possibly accumulate records of such errors and throw a big
warning message at the end of the build saying that some of the resulting images
are too big (and which ones)
