`make install' is not supposed to recompile, at least not if no
targets are out of date (which should it be before you start `make
install').

No, there's no way to resume once it aborted.  You could have used
`make -k install' in the first place however, so it wouldn't abort on
the first error but continue and see to finish as much as possible.
