If the code compiles without problems, but then fails to run, the
situation would be only worse.

It is MUCH BETTER to roar a clear and unmistakable error message into
the face of the user so everybody gets aware that some work needs to
be done to fix these boards rather than to hush up the problems, in
which case nobody would do anything, and a much bigger turmoil would
start when the feature removel time comes and all these broken boards
get removed from the tree,

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
