In that example the GPID is the one the make check-gcc command, so if
we kill it the remaining testcases to run will not be run, and killing
the group of processes with the negative pids passed doesn't work.  I
agree it would be cleaner if we can do it, but I didn't managed to
find a better solution (yet) than gathering all the childs pids and
killing them.
