test_tools crashing on MacOS

Bug report

Bug description:

I'm a little hesitant to post this as I've had no luck reproducing it in isolation. On an up-to-date MacOS in an up-to-date checkout of the main branch. I consistently get a failure for test_tools. This traceback is produced.

ERROR: test_freeze_simple_script (test.test_tools.test_freeze.TestFreeze.test_freeze_simple_script)

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['/usr/bin/make', 'install']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

When I run it in isolation, it passes. It also passes on my Linux machine.

The make man page on my Mac is a bit vague about an exit status of two, just that an error was encountered.

I'd be happy to try and dig into this, but am at a loss. If you have some suggestions, let me know.

Can you say how you run the test that fails and run the test that succeeds?
