My make pauses for ever in a directory 2 levels below the current
directory.

Attached below is my stracelog. This time it appears that strace pauses
before make loops forever. Make was still going but I had to interrupt it 
just so that I can save the stracelog before make comes to possibly an
infinite loop that requires a reboot and hence loss of log.
