This issue isn't seen on Linux.  I think it must be related to the way the jobserver mode is handled on Windows, which is different than Linux (on Windows we use a shared semaphore).

Yes, it's necessary to call output_start() in func_shell_base() because the shell function doesn't redirect stderr, so it can go to the output and get mixed up.

After recursive make call if top-level Makefile set -Otarget and sub-make has $(shell) function call then MAKEFLAGS exposes all internal values hidden from user (-j and --jobserver-auth for example). It leads to false warning message as if -j option specified in Makefile.
It happens because $(shell) function handler invokes define_makeflags(1, 0):

1. define_makeflags()
2. prepare_mutex_handle_string()
3. sync_init()
4. setup_tmpfile()
5. output_start()
6. func_shell_base()

Looks like MAKEFLAGS variable takes its full contents too early. I'm not familiar with make internals but does it really necessary to do output_start() in func_shell_base()?

Example Makefile:

start_time := $(shell echo %time%)
MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory
MAKEFLAGS += --output-sync=target

.PHONY: all
all:
        $(MAKE) build-$@

.PHONY: build-all
build-all:
        @echo $@

Output of 'make -j8':

make build-all
make[1]: warning: -j8 forced in makefile: resetting jobserver mode.
build-all
