This is intentional -- what's wrong with stopping? ISTM that stopping
and letting the user know what went wrong is probably better than just
continuing: many users will install readline when they discover it isn't
installed, and it is easy to miss a warning emitted by "configure" as
its output flies past.

The docs say: "(On some systems GNU make is the default tool with the
name make.)"
