A set -e shell script doesn't terminate if a nonzero return value is a
part of a conditional/test. However in a makefile, the exit status of
the shell can be nonzero even if it was a due to a test "failing", so
you have to use [ ! ] || and not the more readable [ ] &&, since the sh
-c '' will still exit 1. For the same reason, you need to explicitly
exit 0 at the end of some scripts:
for a
do
[...]
[ ] && foo
done
# Necessary due to the test
exit 0
