You might like to try with -d option to see if that reveals which
process is causing the problem.
it sounds as though a process is not handling SIGTERM (Ctrl+C)
correctly. (that means "die now"). You could try sending SIGINT ("please
die") which requests your process to exit as fast as it can. I think
SIGTERM may actually be the OS shutting down the process.
I doubt this is a problem in GNU Make though. You might like to try
memtest86, and check all your other hardware components are working
correctly.
Kind regards
