Jared,

Yes, -k is supposed to tell OMake to keep going until it has built 
everything that does not depend on some of the failed targets. I just 
tried the following simple example with 0.9.8.5 and it works correctly 
with "-j2 -k":

foo:
     echo trying foo
     sleep 10
     echo done trying foo
     touch $@

bar:
     sleep 1
     echo bar will fail
     exit 1

.DEFAULT: foo bar

Is you problem reproducible? Could you try reproducing it on a simple 
example? Thanks!
