This is something even peoplebuilding on Windows often complain about, as 
having the help compiler is not standard.

Isn't there a simple way to prevent make from aborting when a command 
produces an error, like writing

command || true

or

command || echo helpfile couldnot be built

or something like that to mask a possible error-exit code? Or is a 
non-existing binary too severe an error for that?
