Is it possible to configure the exporter to stop and throw an error for a
bad link?
I found this old thread
<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/55912> with a patch to make
the format configurable, but I'd rather receive an explicit warning.
Thanks,
Jake

No. But what is really a "bad link"? Is it bad because it cannot be
exported to a specific backend?

By bad, I meant a link that can't be resolved (perhaps because of a typo).
Org already handles this by formatting the "bad" link with texttt in latex.
For example:
-----
* First
In [[frst]], we see the ECM.
-----
Exports to:
-----
\section{First}
\label{sec-1}
In \texttt{frst}, we see the ECM.
-----
Whereas
----
* First
In [[First]], we see the ECM.
----
exports as:
----
\section{First}
\label{sec-1}
In \ref{sec-1}, we see the ECM.
----
After further digging, I found org-latex-link-with-unknown-path-format.
Since I usually export directly to pdf, I can achieve my desired result by
customizing this variable to some undefined control sequence (i.e.
\BADLINK), in which case latex complains, but I have to hunt down the error
in the *Org PDF LaTeX Output* buffer. It would be great if the export would
just quit and move point to the offending link
