8526 - Make failure prevents unit test execution

What are your views on allowing a junit test to run when the "make" fails for some unrelated reason (a 1.6 compiler error for example)

Currently, when I execute a unit test, I have "make before run" checked (which is what I want). However, because of an internal compiler error, the make fails, but the class under test did in fact compile.

Is there any reason why IDEA should not run the unit test in this scenario?
