[bug #58979] Recursive make using jobserver hangs at completion

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #58979 (project make):

Hm.  Linux 2.6 is very old and I assume your libc is similarly old.  As an
experiment I suggest re-running make's configure with the flag
--disable-posix-spawn and rebuilding make, then seeing if that version of make
works better.

Otherwise it will be tricky to debug this: clearly the top-level makefile
thinks that there are more outstanding jobs to be run, but they are
(presumably) all dead which means something took a job token and didn't return
it before exiting.

Does this happen always, or is it intermittent?
