I would say it's a different problem. They are doing parallel
builds.

Our problem is that if you don't do parallel builds bmake
switchs to compatibility mode. In compatibility mode it doesn't
register the signal handlers, so when you type C-c it doesn't catch
the signal and just do the default action, that is, exit.

If you apply my patch or call bmake with -j it will register the signal
handlers and kill the childs when needed.
