make install-world fails sometimes in Mac M1

Hi team, 

      We are using a script to install Postgres from source, the script works fine in ubuntu and Mac(intel) but mostly fails(works sometimes) in Mac M1. 

Configure and make world works fine. But fails during make install-world.

It's not like it fails every time, sometimes the same script works just fine. Sometimes after few retries it works.

I have also noticed that, if it works without issue, binaries generated does't work immediately. i.e when I tried to query pg_config, the command waits for sometime and gets killed. After a few retries, it works there onwards.

I'm wondering what could be the issue. I'm attaching the script to the same, kindly go through it and help me understand the issue.

Postgres Version: 11.14
Machine details: MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020), Version 12.4

We have developers (including me) and buildfarm machines using M1 Macs,
and nobody else is reporting any big problem with them, so I don't believe
that this is specifically due to that.

kill -9 is not something that would happen internally to the install
process.  My guess is that that is interference from some external agent.
Perhaps you have some resource-consumption-limiting daemon installed on
that machine, and it's deciding that the command ran too long?

      Even we don't have any problem when we run commands via terminal. Problem occurs only when we run as a part of script.
      We have tried this script in 5 Mac m1 machines and it is the same issue everywhere.

      I don't think of any other external agent other than the anti-virus software running at that moment. And I also don't think that it will cause this issue.

      If possible, please do try this script(attached as screenshot as well as pastebin link)
      
      Steps:
      chmod +x install_pg.sh
      ./install_pg.sh -i <install_dir>

         
Thank you,

It must be a problem induced by the shell used to run the script, then.
What is it?  The script itself doesn't say.

Tried with,
1. Bash shell
2. zsh shell
3. Started terminal via rosetta(Again with both bash and zsh)

Same issue in all 3 cases.
