There is a make 4.4.1 release candidate 4.40.0.90 with patches that may

The problems I reported with make 4.4 still exist in 4.4.0.90.
Until someone can figure out why this happens, you might want to consider
building make so that it doesn't default to using a FIFO for its jobserver.
I suggested to the make developers that they provide a configure option for
this purpose. If they don't do this, I think you could accomplish the same
thing by configuring make with ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no.
version 2 uploaded.
Might be good to follow up on bug-make at gnu dot org to let them know that
pre-release does not help us, and it has been rereleased building with
ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no which does.
I notice that posix_spawn is defaulted, any chance it could be implicated?
what are you using as test ?
Standard build tests are fine for both -1 and -2
I'm not seeing make issues so far! x fingers - touch wood - no jinxes! ;^>
Are there high parallel make tests that show the issues with FIFO?
Just aware that if there are issues, sometimes flipping a config option gives a
different result, and occasionally a fix, or a broken build. :-(
