Ah, I indeed forgot to cover the -O/--output-sync option. The drawback
with -Orecurse is that you don't see anything happening for the entire
duration of a given package build step. Also I'm not sure if the ">>>
foo 1.0 Building" message will actually be grouped with the build of
that package, which makes the analysis of the build output a bit
difficult.

I'll do a bit of testing and report.

Best regards,

Thomas
