The only sure-fire way was to introduce a syntax error.  Something like
this:

  ifdef GOOD

    do: good stuff

  else

    __dummy := $(shell echo 'Not GOOD!' 1>&2)

    die

  endif

This looks gross, but it's effective.  Obviously I don't know if the
shell command above can be easily emulated in Windows; it likely depends
on what shell you're using with GNU make.
