New description:

 make on MacOSX does not seem to stop when built errors occur.  The first
 error message is:

 {{{
 /tmp/ghc23705_0/ghc23705_0.split__38.s:unknown:missing indirect symbols
 for section (__TEXT,__symbol_stub)
 }}}

 which happens after build step:

 {{{
 == make all -r -f Makefile;
  in /Users/nominolo/Devel/Haskell/ghc/libraries/base
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ../../compiler/ghc-inplace -H16m -O -fglasgow-exts -cpp -Iinclude
 -"#include" HsBase.h -funbox-strict-fields -package-name  base-2.0 -O
 -Rghc-timing -fgenerics  -fgenerics -split-objs    -c GHC/Float.lhs -o
 GHC/Float.o  -ohi GHC/Float.hi
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 }}}

 All following files consequently fail to build with the error message:
 {{{
  <File>.hs:1:0:
     Failed to load interface for `Prelude':
       Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
 }}}

 I was building with:
 {{{

Comment:

 I suspect the problem is with mk/target.mk, around line 1172, which looks
 roughly like this:

 {{{
 all:
     @case '${MFLAGS}' in *-[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *-r*[ik]*) x_on_err=0;; *)
 x_on_err=1;; esac; \
     for i in $(SUBDIRS); do \
         $(MAKE) -C $$i all; \
         if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; then true; else exit 1; fi;
 \
     done
 }}}

 I've pushed a patch to the 6.6 branch and HEAD which will should give some
 more information about what's going on:

 {{{
 hunk ./mk/target.mk 1179
 +       if [ $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; \
 +           then echo "Won't exit on error due to MFLAGS: ${MFLAGS}"; \
 +       fi; \
 hunk ./mk/target.mk 1188
 -         if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ] ;  then true; else exit 1;
 fi; \
 +         if [ $$? -eq 0 -o $$x_on_err -eq 0 ]; \
 +             then echo "Finished making $@ in $$i": $$?; \
 +             else echo "Failed making $@ in $$i": $$?; exit 1; \
 +         fi; \
 }}}
