I've had this too. The problem is the shell command:

[ -f rpl8 ] && whatever

fails if rpl8 is missing, and does not only skip "whatever" (here:
install), but also exits the whole compound command with code 1, which
aborts the make target.

"[ CONDITION ] && whatever" is therefore a Makefile pitfall.
