Build failure: install race condition

Bug report

The generated Makefile for Python 3.11 has a race condition in its install target.

So far it triggers easiest with GNU Make 4.4 (I think they distribute more tasks breadth first instead of depth first compared to v4.3)

In short, this is a reproducer of the problem:

LIBDIR := $(CURDIR)/lib
INSTALL := /usr/bin/install -c

all: a b

a b:
	@for i in $(LIBDIR); do \
		if test ! -d $$i; then \
			echo "Creating directory $$i"; \
			$(INSTALL) -d -m 755 $$i; \
		else true; \
		fi \
	done

causing a race as follows:

% make -j2
Creating directory /private/var/folders/33/7njsb0_50dl7hnkr58nbnpb00000gn/T/tmp.TOdJ6wpw/lib
Creating directory /private/var/folders/33/7njsb0_50dl7hnkr58nbnpb00000gn/T/tmp.TOdJ6wpw/lib
install: mkdir /private/var/folders/33/7njsb0_50dl7hnkr58nbnpb00000gn/T/tmp.TOdJ6wpw/lib: File exists
make: *** [a] Error 71

This happens exactly in Python during make install -j$(nproc) as the commoninstall target has the prereqs altbininstall libinstall (among others) which both have a shell script loop over some directories they wanna make, and in particular it has:

altbininstall: $(BUILDPYTHON)
	@for i in $(BINDIR) $(LIBDIR); \
		... like example above (if dir not exists, run install)

libinstall: all $(srcdir)/Modules/xxmodule.c
	@for i in $(SCRIPTDIR) $(LIBDEST); \
		... like example above (if dir not exists, run install)

where SCRIPTDIR and LIBDIR in my case both point to <prefix>/lib.

Your environment

Python 3.11
GNU Make 4.4
macOS Ventura M1

Bắt đầu bằng cách tái hiện lỗi với Makefile được cung cấp và make -j2, sau đó kiểm tra các quy tắc cài đặt được tạo ra cho commoninstall, altbininstall và libinstall. Bản sửa lỗi được hoàn tất khi make install song song không còn xảy ra race condition trong lúc tạo các thư mục dùng chung, kể cả với GNU Make 4.4 trên Python 3.11.
