You can easily make make continue on with things that aren't broken
simply by using the ``-k'' flag.
When doing a make world, I always have the environment variable set
like this (tcsh -- sh uses a different syntax, of course):
setenv MAKEFLAGS '-k'
I also have all stdout and stderr directed to a large log file. Then
I can review the file when everything is finished, and see if anything
important broke that requires my attention.
