Question about error detection

[Cooper, Robert (Ftg Ops)]

I am new to the group, so I have zero knowledge about prior questions other 
than what I viewed just now in the last couple of archives.  Background - We 
are migrating from ClearCase to Git/Stash, and I am migrating many of our 
builds to GNU Make from ClearMake.

I have created a new workflow for a shared C++ repository where the 
applications which share this code first call a recipe to build the shared 
library as a prerequisite to the main portion of the build. (This recipe in 
fact invokes a new make command, and generally I have no issues with that 
technique.)

The mystery is - sometimes when there is a build error in the shared library, 
the build terminates with an error as expected.  But other times, an error 
occurs and if my eyes are on the screen, I am lucky enough to see it fly by yet 
the build continues as if nothing failed.  Make is reporting Error 1, as shown 
below.  I cut off the rest of the output but it does continue from there, going 
from directory to directory and running the build commands.  I can't spot a 
difference between the cases where it detects the errors and the ones where it 
doesn't, and my build code is quite uniform project to project.  I've searched 
on-line but have not found any references to a similar issue so far.
