Now that we seem to have a workable solution for output synchronization for both POSIX and Windows systems, I wonder if we shouldn't consider enabling it as the default mode when parallel builds are running.
I understand that this will be a change that could be visible (beyond the collection of output) due to using a temp file instead of a terminal. Of course people can still use -Onone if they want old behavior. However assuming the new mode works and is reliable, and is not a performance bottleneck, I'm hard-pressed to see why a well-ordered output would not be preferable to just about everyone, and hence shouldn't be the default. Of course it's possible that writing to a file, rather than spewing to stdout, WOULD be noticeably performance impacting at least in some situations/systems.
