When there are errors in the unit tests the test target should return an 
exit code to the shell to signal that the tests did not pass. This is 
the 
normal behavior for make. This is useful at least for the buildbot so 
that 
an accurate build report can be made. 

Currently unit test failures are only reported to stdout but goes 
unnoticed 
by the buildbot and the builds are reported as successful.
