SIGINT or CTRL-C of make on b18

I've been using the cygnus tools pretty extensively as a build
environment, but the biggest problem I've had all along is being able
to stop a make process once it's started.
With b18, signals have improved incredibly, but the problem with
stopping make remains (although it's much cleaner than it used to be!).
Hitting ctrl-c inside bash causes make to go into an infinite loop. I
can then kill it from the task manager, but if I have a recursive make
in progress, I have to kill off the right one before I can get my prompt
back (which does seem to propagate the KILL signal to the child
processes too -- they're not hanging around anymore).
Any idea if this problem with make is a known one that will be fixed in
the next release? I've searched through the mail archives of the last
two months, and I didn't see anything that seemed relevant.
Any ideas for workarounds in the meantime (maybe a way of setting up
bash to map ctrl-c to a different signal)?
-Greg.
P.S. I'm running b18 on NT 4.00.1381
