Nope, the problem doesn't go away - because, it turns out the problem is 
not in GNU make at
all!  After more investigation, I found that the shell we are using (An 
old Windows port of zsh)
is responsible for this.  Make is reporting the correct exit value from 
the shell, but the shell is
not reporting the correct exit value from the command that was run.

I agree.

Thanks for following up Eli!  I'm constantly impressed with the support 
you and Paul (and others
of course) provide for GNU make!
