Sure, I'll apply it and see if anybody hollers.

Worst case, we'll revert if there are too many people who have the
buggy version of make and can't easily upgrade. But even then it might
not be that noticeable, since the make jobserver problem ends up
benign fairly timing-specific too. I may have just been very unlucky
in hitting it back when..
