> do_config_file() should exit with an error code on internal run-time
> errors, and not return if it fails as then the error in do_config_file()
> would go unnoticed in the current code and allow the build to continue.
> The exit with error code will make the build fail in those very

> This issue was identified during the review of a previous patch that
