"make --jobs=2", an error is lost
Probably as many others I use "makepkg" with "make -j2" to speed up the process. But then error messages are not shown, just "Aborting...". Then I need to switch to "make -j1" in order to see an error. I stumbled upon it 2 times until I realized that an error message is not omitted, but is hidden in the output. Suppose that "make" starts 2 processes, P0 and P1. P0 completes with an error, earlier than P1. So P0 prints the error, then P1 prints a lot of text and the error message is far far away.
This is manageable, but not good. Does anyone have a solution other then to store output and filter it by the word "error"?

Just go into the build directory and manually run "make -j1" again to get just the error printed out.
