What would be the correct behavior for 'make -i'. According to the man

-i Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile. Equiva-

It sounds as though make(1) is working correctly. make(1) is ignoring the
exit code of the commands in the Makefile's, causing it to continue trying
to build the port, and stumbling because previous dependencies are not
being met (i.e. retrieving the DISTFILE) but not stopping due to the -i
option.
Wouldn't the proper way to rectify this situation be to not try and
override make(1)'s basic sanity checks but to either manually fetch the
DISTFILE and/or fix the port to find a resonable MASTER_SITE?
