That's what I was using to reliably trigger the "make install" failure as in: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded-contrib/commit/?h=jansa/master-xfstests-debug&id=d3fecf856850645762a9dcad5160686b2445729d > > so here it calls make in do_compile task (defined in

finished do_install task runs: do_install() { # otherwise install-sh duplicates DESTDIR prefix export DIST_ROOT="/" DIST_MANIFEST="" DESTDIR="/OE/build/oe-core/tmp-glibc/work/core2-64-oe-linux/xfstests/2024.01.14/image" make -j 70 -l 140 install
