Hello, I don't know if that will help, or if that is completely unrelated, but I'm currently stumbling into a weird issue while working on a new package release for autoconf on Fedora: about 200 tests are now failing, all related to aclocal checks. My current investigation shows that it would be related to a bash update from 5.1.x to 5.2x which seems to have changed the behavior of the "SHLVL" shell variable.
I actually wonder if your sudden "parallelism" failure could be somehow linked to an update of bash, similar to mine ? Fred.
