all I know is: with a trap SIGINT in the calling shell, when I call
make -sr it verify than Makfile is up-to-date and then ... stop
without the trap it works as intended.
Since my odd of getting a patch even reviewed by the gnu make
maintainer is apparently 0, I have not bothered digging further. I was
glad to finally figuring out why my script was not building anything
and a work-around to that...
