After upgrading to R-4.2 we are seeing package build errors on Ubuntu 18.04: make[1]: *** read jobs pipe: No such file or directory. or: make[1]: *** write jobserver: Bad file descriptor. Stop. The problem seems to get triggered by the use of parallel make, but I cannot find the underlying cause. It does not happen on ubuntu 20 or 22, so I suspect the version of 'make' is related. Attached a dockerfile with a minimal reproducible example (run with: docker build .)
