Too many open files

[Noel Yap]

Given the following makefile:

# GNUaoeu.mk
include GNUaoeu.mk

.PHONY: all
all:

The output is:
$ gmake -f GNUaoeu.mk
GNUaoeu.mk:1: GNUaoeu.mk: Too many open files
gmake: Nothing to be done for `all'.


I think it would be better if the "Too many open files" actually bombed out the build 
(possibly even with the "***" make error prefix) rather than allowing it to continue to 
process the all: target.  Does this make sense?

Thanks,
Noel
