If you <crtl>-c, then compilation breaks. As long as the 'make clean' 
has not been done, next time you 'make' it will continue where it stopped.

If it is only a short period, you can <crtl>-z (suspend), then you can 
see the job with 'jobs', make it nice 'renice -20 %<jobnumber>', start 
it again in background with 'bg %1' or in foreground with 'fg %1'.

Cheers, Erik
