How?  There is a huge array of possible ways in which to hang yourself
here and I'm almost certain it would be impossible to enumerate, let
along detect, them all.  How do you detect that someone has passed in
bogus CFLAGS, for example?  Or set the optimization too high?  All of
those things can cause the build to fail and are only examples of some
of the less subtle ways of doing it.
