Hi!
The following patch prevents make from going crazy without a

anything good in $(shell ...) invocations...)
I believe the original echo message provides more intuitive information
to the user. Can we use it with your change to 'exit'?
Well :) The message isnt going to the user, but is used as value for SUITE
in the makefile - remember, a makefile $(shell cmd) cmd does not care
about exit values of the command, but just evaluates to the cmds output.
So at the moment SUITE becomes 'no such file config/*.suite.mk' or the
like, with my changes it becomes '#NoSuiteFile' and this value causes the
makefile to abort later rather than going completely crazy and creating
random directories and files around the curren directory.
Now ok without changes?
