No. There is only one issue I know of with the implementation of the jobserver in 3.79.1: it allows signals to interrupt system calls throughout the program. This can impact things like readdir(), etc.
But, while this does cause some problems sometimes I've never known it to cause a jobserver hang. I added a solution for this into the CVS tree (actually I proposed the solution for discussion on the make dev list and before I could write it myself Paul Eggert sent me a patch that implemented most of it--I only had to tweak it a bit :)), so GNU make in CVS no longer has this issue. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it and see if it solves your problem. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
