It would be called explicitly to generate an exit status indicating
failure.  A typical application would be configure not finding a
utility, and setting the respective environment variable (like TEX or
whatever else) to false, with the expectation that this will only cause
problems with some optional Makefile targets, not affecting the main
compilation.

I have not done any analysis of your specific problem, but maybe this
rationale may help you in figuring out what is happening in your case.
