I make such example:

.PHONY: job
job: job1 job2

.PHONY: job1
job1:
        sleep 3
        exit 1

.PHONY: job2
job2:
        while echo ok; do sleep 1; done

Ir you run like:

  $ make -j2

you get:

  sleep 3
  while echo ok; do sleep 1; done
  ok
  ok
  ok
  exit 1
  make: *** [job1] Error 1
  make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  ok
  ok
  ...

Seems to be reasonable have an option to kill jobs after some timeout if one
job fail (or make receive signal) and enabling .DELETE_ON_ERROR in this
case...
