Details:

The -silent option on make appears to force the -ignore option.
When I specify the -silent option, make appears to ignore the exit status of
all commands, and returns an exit status of zero even though the build 
failed.

I encountered this on version 3.81, built for Windows32.  On testing, I found
that the 3.81 build distributed with cygwin behaves the same way, and the
attached makefile and illustrative script are intended to be run under cygwin
or on a unix platform.
