Killing it with Ctrl-C results in:

After that i can just issue simple make and it will finish no
problem.
It looks to me there are some race conditions...
Those happen sometimes. Here the make process hangs on voronoi.eps
(regardless of parallel build or not), but I think that is a
long-standing bug with osmesa and nVidia drivers. convhull and
voronoi figures are challenging for
print (outfile, d_typ);
for some reason. Didn't simply running "make -j8" a second time
succeed?
This all sounds plausible.
