Well, I am very opposed to silent makerules.

All silent-makerules are doing is to span a hidden mine-field of bugs to 
trap users into.

E.g. are you sure your include paths and the defines your packages are 
using are correct? With silent makerules, you and your users won't 
notice them being wrong - building only appears to be working, while you 
package actually is totally misconfigured.

It's guaranteed such situation will happen, it only a matter of time.
