Okay, so not an eshell problem then. Is it an infloop stop (i.e.,
maxing out CPU) or waiting for input type of stop? Please try with
'make V=1' to get the exact command being run, and then try running
that command adding '--eval (setq debug-on-quit t)' and removing
'-batch'. If you can't get a lisp trace with C-g using that method,
try running the command under gdb to get a C backtrace.

Hmm, I wonder how come ./autogen.sh can't find 'git'? Shell alias?
Sneaky $PATH change?
