>From time to time I would like to abort a make session in /usr/ports.
In the past, one could get away with simply using kill or ctrl-c, but
now that seems to keep make from restarting, with an error along the
lines of "can't cd to /tmp/..... which does not seem easy to fix.

What is the appropriate way to stop and restart make in /usr/ports?

Thanks for reading,
