hi folks.


both xsrc/xc/Makefile and xsrc/xfree/xc/Makefile have this:

	WORLDOPTS = -k
	[ ... ]
		$(MAKE_CMD) $(MFLAGS) $(WORLDOPTS) World


so that make World is always given "-k".  this means that build failures
are ignored and you think you got a successful build until you notice
that certain things are missing.

unless someone comes up with a really good reason not to, i'm going to
change both Makefile's to set WORLDOPTS to "" (after i have tested that
doing so does not actually break anything.)
