What does it take to get make to report back an exit error status all the
way back to the script that called make, so that the compilation process
is stopped?

A correct makefile.  The makefile which is continuing instead of
stopping has an incorrectly written set of commands that execute
multiple recursive makes without checking all their exit statuses.

Is it possible you're using the -k flag with make?

Nope.  If that was the issue, we would have seen make say that it was
continuing past the error, ala "*** Error code 1 (continuing)"
