I've been hammering on your pipe fix patch (switching to exclusive wait queues) for a month or so, on several different systems, and I've run into no issues with it. The patch *substantially* improves parallel build times on large (~100 CPU) systems, both with parallel make and with other things that use make's pipe-based jobserver.
All current distributions (including stable and long-term stable distributions) have versions of GNU make that no longer have the jobserver bug.
Based on that, would you consider merging the pipe fix patch in the current merge window, giving people plenty of time to hammer on it further?
