No. Because the T2 build is not meant to be an interactive game and instead 
automatic build process, like an IDE Makefile.

When I do debug some tricky package thing I usually add a breakpoint error to 
the .conf, IIRC this should work:

hook_add post make 5 abort

Likewise not, sorry.

The stages are structured so for a reason (and this should be somewhere 
mentioned in the handbook).

stage 0 - cross compiler toolchain bootstrap
stage 1 - cross compile packages - for a native build this is only a minimal 
system
 - from here on native build -

stage 2, 3 - rebuild some tools just in case

stage 5 - main native build stage
stage 6…9 - mostly unused, empty
stage 9 - rebuild all for paranoia and stress testing

further mixing things into this mix should not really be necessary

basically it is

0. bootstrap
1. cross build
5. native main build
