Yes, that sucks. I can't think of a better fix for it than this massive
hack of outsourcing printing the error to the header itself, which'll
only be executed if we actually compile:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index ba3e061edd..881cf55159 100644

But maybe I missed a way to make the $(error) path work only if certain
targets were about to be compiled.
