I assume the job token pipes are passed to "normal" commands because those normal commands can be an arbitrarily complex, and it is impossible to know whether they will end up invoking a sub-make or not. That still doesn't explain why there should be as many as 40 open file descriptors, though. -- Andreas Gustafsson, [email protected]
