The problems I reported with make 4.4 still exist in 4.4.0.90.

Until someone can figure out why this happens, you might want to 
consider building make so that it doesn't default to using a FIFO for 
its jobserver.  I suggested to the make developers that they provide a 
configure option for this purpose.  If they don't do this, I think you 
could accomplish the same thing by configuring make with 
ac_cv_func_mkfifo=no.
