I cannot reproduce this on Linux. I assume this might be because the used file is not unique but I cannot be sure. Needs some looking into.

That is an obviously wrong observation since tmpdir is involved. It is more likely the using of multiple workers is interfering with the hand-rolled process spawning code on macOS.

The addons tests fail because of data being created in the source tree - see https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/13366.

FYI this saves about half the run-time (40s vs 77s) according to a CI run with otherwise comparable times.

This was missed in a few steps which were added after I opened this PR. I added those in #7106.
