I actually didn't notice the patch attached here before I created a fix since I didn't scroll down far enough (my bad), but the fix I wrote is more-or-less equivalent, although with some extras.

A fix has been pushed and will be in the next release.  Thank you for filing a report!

This does look like a promising diagnosis.  I'll look at it this weekend.

Is this part of:

bug #49014: Zombies in parallel builds with pselect code

But with the key missing ingredient - a diagnosis - and a fix?

When using parallel recurse make, several child make processes will  be waiting in pselect.
When some make is writing a token in the pipe, several of these processes will leave the pselect, and trying to read the pipe.
Only 1 will actually get the token.  All others will be blocked in the read.
Eventually tokens will be written to the pipe, unblocking these make processes.

Solution : make the pipe non blocking, in order for all the processes that miss the token to call pselect again.
