Does it have to be relative to the start of the entire build (user's
invocation of make)?

I understand the interest in the amount of time a given job takes to
run, but I guess I don't understand the need for a "start time offset"
at all.  Isn't it sufficient to record the start time of a job, then
when it's complete show the elapsed time for that job?  Or recipe?  Or
both?

I'll take a look.
