Yep, works fine. Asking for reviews and merge.

This works because on our AIX machines /usr/bin/gmake points to /opt/freeware/bin/make. Equally a solution would be to provide the full path to /opt/freeware/bin/make. I'll check on all of our machines to see if /usr/bin/gmake points to /opt/freeware/bin/make before approving

Remembering that other companies use our scripts and playbooks, and that we must also support command line testing (outside of Jenkins runs), so putting a fix into a Jenkins groovy script does not necessarily resolve the issue for running via command line. EDIT: given this is a case relating to running in parallel in Jenkins, perhaps so.

@Haroon-Khel - is that mapping of /usr/bin/gmake to /opt/freeware/bin/make in the AIX playbooks?

The specific creation of that symlink is not in the playbooks. It might be that it is created during the installation of make

See #5542 (comment)

A solution which avoids changing the test scripts is to add PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH to the jenkins config of our AIX machines. After making this change to test-osuosl-aix72-ppc64-4 and rebuilding its failing sanity system job it looks like it finds the right make
