parallel make and waiting for child process

[Martin d'Anjou]

Hello,

I have a parallel make where one of the child terminates with a non-zero 
exit code. Make waits until all children have finished before returning.

Is there a way to have make kill unfinished child processes (when a child 
returns a non-zero exit code) and return immediately instead?

If not, where in the source code can I change that?

Thanks!
Martin
