Interrupting or Killing make If make gets a fatal signal while a command is executing, it may delete the target file that the command was supposed to update. This is done if the target file's last-modification time has changed since make first checked it. The purpose of deleting the target is to make sure that it is remade from scratch when make is next run. But make also receives the Ctrl-c signal and deletes this incomplete file.
