I have built several large software suites (including KDE Frameworks and
Plasma Workspaces) since applying this patch, and I have not seen the zombie
problem recur.

I've applied b552b0525198 to Make 4.2.1 on my Gentoo system (and have
re-enabled HAVE_PSELECT). I will report back if I experience another
deadlock.
Thanks for the (probable) fix!

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #49014 (project make):
SIGCHLD doesn't always unstick the make process, though. It worked for me when
I had a make with two zombie children, but it didn't work on another make that
had only one zombie child.
I think I'll try comment #0's suggestion of overriding the HAV
Follow-up Comment #9, bug #49014 (project make):
This issue also affects Make 4.2.1 on Linux 4.11.0-gentoo. I had a parallel
build of Firefox stall in a make process with two unreaped children. Manually
sending a SIGCHLD to the zombies' parent (make) process got everything moving
again.
