[bug #17740] make fails without any message

[Tony Silva]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #17740 (project make):

Here's a Makefile and test procedure that produces 4 (related) symptoms. 
Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Is there any chance that Make does not catch and/or propagate non-zero exit
status properly when it occurs while processing secondary, dashed include
makefiles? When using "-include", it seems odd that Make returns non-zero
exit status when something fails but does not display a warning message.  I'm
wondering if it should do either both or neither, not one or the other.

Thanks,

-- Tony
