job.c, line 1002
#ifndef NO_OUTPUT_SYNC
      /* Synchronize any remaining parallel output.  */
      output_dump (&c->output);
#endif

This happens in a 'critical' section.
a child has finished, but job_slots_used has not yet decremented.

When a fatal signal arrives, during output_dump, fatal_error_signal is calling
      while (job_slots_used > 0)
        reap_children (1, 0);
Since job_slots_used is 1 higher than the number of children, reap_children is called eventually, without any child, and it will block on 'EINTRLOOP (pid, wait (&status)'

Solution: reorder some statements.
/* There is now another slot open.  */
      if (job_slots_used > 0)
        --job_slots_used;

      /* Remove the child from the chain and free it.  */
      if (lastc == 0)
        children = c->next;
      else
        lastc->next = c->next;

      unblock_sigs ();
#ifndef NO_OUTPUT_SYNC
      /* Synchronize any remaining parallel output.  */
      output_dump (&c->output);
#endif
      free_child (c);
