It *would* be nice if "make -k" worked better.  I frequently run into
the fact that (with the pre-existing setup) a compile error in the
backend prevented make from proceeding with builds of interfaces/,
bin/, etc, meaning that that work still remains to be done after I've
finished fixing the backend error.

But having said that, I won't shed many tears if we have to revert this.

It looks like all the unhappy critters are getting the same "virtual
memory exhausted" error.  I wonder whether they are all using make 3.80
