"After each shell command returns, `make' looks at its exit status.
If the command completed successfully, the next command line is executed
in a new shell; after the last command line is finished, the rule is
finished.

If there is an error (the exit status is nonzero), `make' gives up on
the current rule, and perhaps on all rules."
