Why would you want it to quit ?
The test will fail with some versions of GNU make too, in which case you don't
get the new
"This is gnustep-make 1.14.0. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help."
line printed any time you compile using gnustep-make. But we survived for years
without that line, it's hardly an essential feature.
The code was written in such a way that even if the test would screw up badly
(as it did on your machine) the only bad consequence is that you wouldn't get
this new experimental/unstable feature (printing gnustep-make version and help
message) that was added yesterday.
So, the script did continue, which allowed you to use gnustep-make even if you
lost
the new feature. I don't see why you'd have hoped for the script to quit, in
which
case your gnustep-make would have been unusable.
Thanks
