Whatever the problem is, I do not agree with removing 'set -e'.  Setting 
-e ensures that an error that happens within a loop is propagated to 
become the error *of* the loop (or actually, the whole shell session), 
which is therefore returned to make.  Without 'set -e', errors may 
happen withing the loops or a series of commands with make not knowing 
about it.  Instead, make will only get the exit code from the last 
command executed.

I believe that the problem lies somewhere else and needs to be 
investigated a bit further.
