AFAIK, just press Ctrl-C few times and wait 'til it really finish in
the point you want. Next time, typing "make" again will pick starting
from the point you left. It is doable since "make" check timestamp and
whether an object file for certain target has been made or not

PS: just don't press Ctrl-C like crazy :)
