[Vaclav Petras]

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for looking into this. Here are some further pointers I can give you.

The fail or pass should be signaled by a return code and visually by the
list of failing directories. The "grass78 binary" is Python script, so more
a general executable, than a binary. Its compilation does not depend on the
rest. This actually applies to most of the GRASS GIS which is overall quite
modular and failure to build one part does not influence other parts. Well,
that of course does not apply to things which are actually dependent on
something, such as C modules which depend at least on the gis library.
