I naively assumed this would work:

There should be a way to serialize the top-level set of targets
without serializing all the sub-targets. That way this would work, as
would:

make clean-foo foo

which is something I (used to!) use a lot.

And while I'm still complaining about the parallel activity the build
logs truly are a mess that needs to be fixed. In particular finding
build failures is now quite a challenge. :(

I've just discovered this page in the gmake manual -
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Parallel-Output.html
- or does this not address the problem ?

This option has been flagged by the build folk. The problem is that it is limited to specific make versions and AFAIK we do not yet use/support that in our various build systems. So while I can potentially use this for my own builds, most of the logs I have to descramble are coming from others.

Thanks,
David
