-- Check all Makefiles for notes / warnings on compilation and see if they can be
-copied to _after_ the compilation as they're more likely to be seen this way. In
-some cases this will have to be done in the Makefile via `|| :` (that might be

-    * Make compilation of targets use `|| :` in the Makefiles to allow
-    additional targets to compile and/or let warnings/notes be printed. An
