should be 'Trace/breakpoint trap'

I tried running make under strace, and it ran fine. So I tried it again,
and I saw this:

--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) ---
rt_sigreturn(0

and then it hang. On reboot, it gave the same 'Trace/breakpoint trap'
error, but didn't hang. Next time I tried it, it did hang.
