No, my fault, I haven't described it clearly. In mingw/Makefile and
also in mingw/Makefile.in is the line
SUBDIRS:=profile
and from here the rule `subdirs' seem to call the `make all' in
the profile dir that failes. AFAICS the problem is that the failing
make in the profiles subdir forces the end of the complete hirarchical
make process. Maybe it's enough to ignore the result code?!?

That's the other way to solve it ;-)
Nevertheless, IMHO it would be better to make it bullet proof in the
sources...
