Description

I was doing some dtracing while waiting for a build to finish and discovered that dmake makes an excessive number of close(2) calls. It's a case of "call close in a loop until maxfd" logic during io redirection when spawning a job. When replaced with closefrom(), I saved almost 40% (77 mins cut down to 47 mins) on a full nightly run of SmartOS.
