I have not tried it in this case because I am under a bit of time
pressure currently, but have you tried 'remake'
(http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/remake)? It is a make fork (currently
3.80-based, AFAIK) with enhanced debugging facilities, even with
stepping, breakpoints etc. The latter probably won't help with your
parallelism problem, but maybe there is another option which might help
you. Check it out if you feel like giving it a try. Remake helped my
solve a few other problems in the past.
