ignore failed subdir make calls?

hi all,

in our automake-based project we have a large number of rather 
independent directories that should usually all be built automatically. 
unfortunately, most of these directories contain programs maintained by 
separate people. it now happens from time to time that people check in 
code that works on their machine but causes make to fail on other 
machines. due to the recursive chain of make calls, make then fails 
completely and the relevant directory has to be taken out of the 
matching SUBDIRS variable manually.

is there a way to tell make by means of Makefile.am to ignore the 
failure of a specific recursive make call?

thanks,
martin.
