Comment (by vbraun):

 Not sure I follow, `build/deps` is a Makefile but just setting a make
 variable is not good enough. You mean use the "export" gnu make extension
 to change the environment?

 Probably the best solution would be to subclass the stdout stream to a
 version that always flushes. But sage-download-file is already too many
 loc. I'm thinking to refactor it into a python package (say,
 `src/sage_bootstrap`) that deals with downloading and potentially other
 pre-installation stuff. That then could also be tested nicely with tox to
 see that it runs on different Python versions. But we should probably fix
 more urgent issues first.
