The reason this was not failing is fascinating. The variable $(rustc) is empty, so the make recipe was expanded as " -o foo foo.rs". make interpreted this as an instruction to run the command "o foo foo.rs" and ignore any failure that occurred, because it uses a leading '-' on a command to signal that behavior. |
