This change is broken, it has the effect that compilation no longer stops
when the compilation of a .c file fails, kbuild doesn't stop the
compilation until it misses the .o when linking, e.g. (the directory is
still called "2.5.39" because I forgot to change the name after applying
patch-2.5.40 but this is 2.5.40):

time explaining its a free country because its a police state.
