Details:

I have a program which is using the splice(2) system call for i/o when the
source is a pipe.

Each time I run GNU make in the terminal, the program will fail afterwards
with an error caused by splice(2) not being able to write to the terminal
anymore.

It happens because GNU make sets the terminal in append-mode, and splice(2)
will not accept it.

I have already described this bug at

https://stackoverflow.com/a/60020271/10306503

and also already submitted a report with a patch to bug-make@

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2020-02/msg00000.html

which was ignored without any explanation.
