Thanks, Marco. As expected, that fixes the problem for my test case
(building TeX Live). Obviously it would be better if the make
developers would provide a configure option to use a pipe for the
jobserver, but this is a good workaround if they don't.
Does it actually do a parallel build? I've quickly tested a cmake based
project with it and it completely serializes the build. Reverting to
4.4 resolves that problem.
It does for my build of TeX Live. I just tried 'make -j13 check', and I
saw many make processes and many sh processes running at once. [But I'm
currently testing a self-built make 4.4.0.91.]
