Found something - seems to be related whether the build is going into a 
pipe or not.


I usually build this way (directly or via a script):

   make -j96 bzImage ARCH=x86 2>&1 | tee e

Ctrl-C interruption is not handled by kbuild in this case:

  CC      fs/jffs2/xattr_trusted.o
  CC      sound/firewire/motu/motu-transaction.o
  CC      sound/usb/clock.o
  ^Ckepler:~/tip> 

Immediate prompt - no cleanup sequence.

But if I do it without 'tee', I get the expected cleanup sequence by make:

  kepler:~/tip> make -j96 bzImage ARCH=x86 2>&1

  CC      fs/jffs2/acl.o
  CC      sound/pci/echoaudio/mona.o
  CC      fs/nls/nls_iso8859-9.o
