[issue1716] can't stop "bmake" (without args) in /usr/pkgsrc

    The main problem with bmake is that it temporarily sets a signal
    handler to SIG_IGN before setting it to something else.  This
    means that when a ton of bmakes are running hitting ^C will often
    be ignored by some of them.  DragonFly is doing the right thing, it's
    bmake which has to be fixed.
