Thread dump during build with ctrl-\

[Mike Duigou]

I've tried John's suggestion and it helps but is not enough. I believe I would have to trap the outer make invocation as well. Unfortunately wrapping make in a script just to be able to to use ctrl-\ is probably not worth it.

I'm instead using jstack though it can be harder to get timing right.

A waiting shell or make probably disregards such signals and pays more attention to the response to the thing it is waiting for.  In this case, perhaps the "tee" command gets sick from the signal and causes the pipeline to fail.  Perhaps the "tee" command needs to be wrapped in some kind of trappy thing like:  sh -c 'trap "" 2 3; tee'
