OK, I hope I'm attaching the right one now.

I thought it might also help for me to send a complete recipe for 
reproducing the problem rather than just sending bits and pieces.  The 
recipe is adapted from

  https://www.tug.org/texlive/build.html

1. git clone https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source.git

2. cd texlive-source

3. TL_MAKE_FLAGS="-j13" ./Build

The build is then done in texlive-source/Work, which also contains a log 
file "build.log".  On my system the jobserver warning appears after 
about 10 minutes and is in line 2074 of build.log.  I'm using make 
4.4.0.91 patched with commit 8b8cc3a825b0e9e176db5d90084c814e3744a300.
