Updated make package fix buildtime hang

Publication date: 22 Jan 2020
Modification date: 22 Jan 2020
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 7

Description

Under certain circumstances the make jobserver loses job tickets to other
jobservers that have a child that died, but they are blocked waiting for
a new ticket, so they aren't releasing (or re-using) the one that the
child death would free up. This can cause for example kernel builds to slow
down, in worst case doubling the buildtime.

This update solves this by adding the upstream fix:
[SV 51159] Use a non-blocking read with pselect to avoid hangs
