But if, as the OP seems to imply, the compiler really does exit with 
a smaller nonzero code for warnings than for errors (e.g. warnings 
<100, errors >=100) it would be easier to handle that in a wrapper 
script, or even within the makefile itself. Bourne shell syntax for 
the latter would be something like

        $(CC) .... || test $? -lt 100

This will not even run the "test" if $(CC) exits with 0. You just 
have to make sure to keep it on one (virtual) line, potentially 
extended with a backslash if that fits your aesthetic sense better.

I assume there's equivalent cmd.exe syntax for the above but don't 
know it offhand. I know || works on Windows but don't know what the 
equivalent of "test" is.
