Actually control-c should _NOT_ be working on Cross Dev Kit 1.0, or
1.2.  If it does work in one you are lucky.  There is a problem with the
way the serial consoles are started on CDK 1.0 and 1.2, it was left up
to the serial driver to turn on or off the control-c activation.

Under HHL 2.0, this problem has been resolved by using getty and login
to start a serial connection.  login has a patch that ensures that the
control-c stuff is enabled.

I would highly recommend that you move forward to HHL 2.0 if you can, it
has a lot of these minor annoyances fixed.
