The "make coccicheck" target runs spatch against each source
file. But it does so in a for loop, so "make" never sees the
exit code of spatch. Worse, it redirects stderr to a log
file, so the user has no indication of any failure. And then
to top it all off, because we touched the patch file's
mtime, make will refuse to repeat the command because it
think the target is up-to-date.
So for example:
$ make coccicheck SPATCH=does-not-exist
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/qsort.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/xstrdup_or_null.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/object_id.cocci
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci
$ make coccicheck SPATCH=does-not-exist
make: Nothing to be done for 'coccicheck'.
With this patch, you get:
$ make coccicheck SPATCH=does-not-exist
SPATCH contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci
/bin/sh: 4: does-not-exist: not found
Makefile:2338: recipe for target 'contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch' failed
make: *** [contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch] Error 1
It also dumps the log on failure, so any errors from spatch
itself (like syntax errors in our .cocci files) will be seen
by the user.

This shell code is getting a bit unwieldy to stick inside the Makefile,
with all the line continuation and $-escaping. It might be worth moving
it into a helper script.
It also doesn't help that shells are awkward at passing status out of a
for-loop. I think the most "make-ish" way of doing this would actually
be to lose the for loop and have a per-cocci-per-source target.
I don't know if that would make the patches harder to apply. The results
aren't full patches, so I assume you usually do some kind of munging on
them? I resorted to:
make coccicheck SPATCH='spatch --in-place'
