Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH][RESUBMIT] tools top level makefile cleanup

That can easily be fixed when put in the tree. The main point is to exit
with a non zero value. True by exiting with -1 can't get the negative
exit code from the shell (you would get 255). But still bahaviors the
same way if $? != 0 then we know something is wrong.
