That is not valid makefile syntax.  If you put that directly into a
makefile, by itself, you'll get a syntax error:

  $ cat Makefile
  trap 'USER_INT=1; /bin/echo "terminating, please wait...."' INT;

  $ make
  Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Please provide the full context of what you're doing otherwise we can't
help.
