Re: JDK builds,

The new parallel make is wonderfully fast (thank you) but less great when it comes to figuring out why a build failed, especially when you don't have full access to the build machine, as is the case with "build servers", where you get the build log, and the product bits if the build is successful.

I finally figured out a tip and wonder if it would be worth adding this to the end of the build.

If the build fails, grep through the log looking for lines containing the text "recipe for .* failed".

Would it be possible to have the build report any such lines in the summary at the end of the log?
