Yeah, so the GNU #make jobserver protocol is trivial, which can be a blessing and a curse. It puts the job management entirely on the clients, which means that they must reliably return job tokens, or otherwise the jobserver will be left with no jobs available and everything will hang. The make documentation is clear on this:
> Your tool should be sure to write back the tokens it read, even under error conditions. This includes not only errors in your tool but also outside influences such as interrupts (SIGINT), etc. You may want to install signal handlers to manage this write-back.
#NinjaBuild jobserver implementation may not handle this correctly, but fortunately it does. The irony is, it turns out that GNU make does not…

Do you ever do that thing where you find an STL that might work, but it's not quite right, so you load it up and make some edits, and it's not quite there, so you end up using it as a template to completely redesign your own version from scratch because... that's just what you do?
Me too.

1. Masz coś prostego do zrobienia. Wydaje się, że #Makefile będzie w sam raz.
2. W sumie warto zrobić to trochę bardziej przenośnie. Makefile będzie trochę bardziej skomplikowany.
3. Skończyłeś. Okazuje się, że jakaś durnowata wbudowana regułka w GNU Make wskakuje i dodaje `rm` na końcu, które kasuje część plików wyjściowych.
4. Użyj Mesona.

1. Have a simple job to do. Figure out #Makefile will do the job.
2. Think a bit about portability. Makefile becomes slightly more complex.
3. You're finally done. It turns out that some stupid implicit rule in GNU Make fires and adds a `rm` at the end that removes part of the output.
4. Use #Meson.
Just an average #Gentoo day.
[UPDATE: Now I regret using Meson. If you do anything that's not 100% boilerplate, it just keeps throwing obstacles in your way.]
