Follow-up Comment #5, bug #60774 (project make):

The MS-Windows port of GNU Make doesn't lock stdout (or any other standard
device).  Instead, it uses a mutex to synchronize output.  So I think this
problem cannot happen on Windows.

But I see that your changeset touches quite a few places in the code which is
Windows specific, and I wonder why did you have to do that, since the problem
you are trying to fix doesn't exist there.  Wouldn't it be more prudent to
leave the Windows-only code alone?
