| Summary | 0015474: The "Unix Makefiles" generator should use .DELETE_ON_ERROR |
| Description | The .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target in GNU Make ensures that if a command fails, then its corresponding target will be deleted. For example, if a linker OOMs halfway writing the final executable, then without .DELETE_ON_ERROR Make will consider that the (corrupted) executable has been built and refuse to rebuild it.

| Steps To Reproduce | * Use the "Unix Makefiles" generator with a sample CMake project
* Verify that the generated Makefiles do not contain .DELETE_ON_ERROR |
