The strace rune I used to track down the other O_NONBLOCK issue was
strace -o /tmp/strace.log -e fcntl,execve,clone -e signal=none -f make ...

and then looking through the strace.log for uses of O_NONBLOCK
on fds 0, 1 or 2, and backtracking those to which binary had been
exec'd to give that PID. Then I did a full strace of just
that test, and looked to check whether the 0/1/2 was really
the top-level make's stdin/stdout/stderr or whether something else
had dup'd or opened an fd there.
