    _______________________________________________________

Details:

I have noticed the following code fragment in a recipe which is mentioned in
the section “Generating prerequisites automatically” of the
documentation.
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Automatic-Prerequisites.html#index-make-depend

…
         $(CC) -M $(CPPFLAGS) $< > address@hidden; \
…

The semicolon indicates at the end that the return value is ignored there. I
imagine that further data processing should usually only be performed if this
command succeeded.
Would you like to improve the exception handling for such a situation?
