The make status codes are actually not hard to "read", though you
won't necessarily be any the wiser when you're done.  They are
the actual values returned from wait(2).  A "termination code" indicates
the program was killed by a signal; see the description of the low-order byte
returned by wait(2).  "Termination code 138" means 128 (core dumped)
plus 10 (killed by signal 10; see signal(2) to find out what it is).

If make indicates an "Error code", then the program was not killed by
a signal but terminated intentionally.  The number is the exit() value
supplied by the program.
