I would very much like to be able to NOT ignore any errors that result 
in a missing or unsigned image.

IMHO, it is quite annoying to have a build that resulted on missing 
images at the end finish successfully, when you are actually interested 
in *every* target image you requested in Kconfig to be built.

It is fine if this it is not made the default behavior, the build system 
can ignore such failures by default as far as I am concerned.  As long 
as one could set a Kconfig option or environment variable to have the 
build system abort when it does an incomplete job, it would be enough.

And by an incomplete build job, I do mean failing to create any of the 
requested images, or creating images that are too big for their target, 
or failing to add metadata to the images, or failing to sign the final 
images, etc.
