HA: HA: Why `make` could hang

[Bely Uladzimir]

I meant, in general.

Yes, we now can kill this process but currently we prefer to keep
it running to debug what had happened.

But there is a chance that the same thing could happen again and we 
currently have now way solution how to prevent it.

Do you mean this particular instance of make, or do you mean in
general?

You can kill this particular instance of make and that will cause any
parent process to understand that it exited with an error.

There's no way I know of to stop this process other than by sending it
a SIGINT or similar.
