Just reporting a further bit on this: |
| 14 |
You might think that tailing the log output and grepping for the module names |
| 15 |
in .config would be one way, and I suppose it is, but no directly because the |
| 16 |
compile does not appear to follow .config all the time. |

Seems to follow closely when there modules in a row, but then jumps to whole |
| 19 |
different sections... so still not very helpful |
