No.  The idea is that if those other jobs are not depending on the one
that died (and if they were they wouldn't be running already...) then
why not let them finish, so that the next time you run "make" (after you
fix the problem with the job that died) you can avoid re-running the
other jobs.

You'll have to dig into job.c :-/.
