I have built some software package in SLE 11, SLE 12, plus quite a few   
   versions of RHEL, without any dramas.   
   But when I tried in Leap 15, make seems to get gastric reflux.   
   It does execute the rules and recipes, but then also tries to compile   
   fubar.c, where fubar is the target name. Since no such file exists,   
   the make process ends prematurely.   
   The only workaround is to use make -k option.   
   So if make all consists of step1 step2 step3, you have to break it down:   
   make -k step1   
   make -k step2   
   make -k step3   
      
   If I used make -d option for diagnostics, it curiously reports that it   
   must remake the target.
