!@()$#&!)@$ make will stop. Here's the short story: on Unix system returns
the status code in the *upper 8 bits* of a 16 bit value, plus some magic
values. If you don't shift the return value right 8 bits, and return that,
then the calling process won't see the error, because it will only see the
low 8 bits (which don't make sense, the data being in the upper 8 bits).
This is a common mistake people do when using system.
Don't ask how long it took me to notice that pkgdata failed
to stop the makefiles, I'm too upset right now...
