It would be a lot easier to help you if you'd post the relevant bits of
your Makefile.
Dusting off my crystal ball, I see in the mists that your makefile looks
something like this:
build:
for d in $(DIRS) ; \
do \
$(MAKE) -C $$d $@ ; \
done
The problem here is that make considers the whole for loop as one and
doesn't get the exit status of each sub-make, but only of the last one.
Try something like this instead:
build:
for d in $(DIRS) ; \
do \
$(MAKE) -C $$d $@ || exit $? ; \
done
