Yup.  And it depends on the error.  Put the following into simple.el,
and you'll get a warning from the byte compiler, but you won't get any
errors when building:

(error)

Loading abbrev...
Loading simple...
cp -f emacs.pdmp bootstrap-emacs.pdmp 

With

(error "foo")

instead, you get the expected error:

Loading abbrev...
Loading simple...
foo
make[1]: *** [Makefile:587: emacs.pdmp] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/larsi/src/emacs/trunk/src'
make: *** [Makefile:449: src] Error 2
