tools, build: Propagate build failures from tools/build/Makefile.build
The '&&' command seems to have a bad effect when $(cmd_$(1)) exits with non-zero effect: the command failure is masked (despite `set -e`) and all but the first command of $(dep-cmd) is executed (successfully, as they are mostly printfs), thus overall returning 0 in the end. This means in practice that despite compilation errors, tools's build Makefile will return success. We see this very reliably with libbpf's Makefile, which doesn't get compilation error propagated properly. This in turns causes issues with selftests build, as well as bpftool and other projects that rely on building libbpf. The fix is simple: don't use &&. Given `set -e`, we don't need to chain commands with &&. The shell will exit on first failure, giving desired behavior and propagating error properly.
