Looking for stars might be the best approach:

GNU make reports failure:

> template.l: In function `yylex':
> template.l:38: error: syntax error before '%' token
> gmake: *** [template] Error 1

BSD make errors out like this:

> template.l: In function `yylex':
> template.l:38: error: syntax error before '%' token
> *** Error code 1
>
> Stop in /home/jon/template-test (line 7 of Makefile).

Unfortunately dmake (as shipped with Strawberry perl) prints:

> dmake: Error: -- flex: No such file or directory

I don't have nmake around to see what that does...

"Error" is a common string, but only in English :/  I think the "tee"
mechanism needs to be rethought -- maybe a small wrapper around make
that gets the exit code and prints "makewrapper: *** MAKE FAILED WITH
CODE 123!"?
