The issue, I believe, is whether
# make bootstrap > foo.log 2>&1
... some random amount of time passes ...
^C
# make bootstrap >> foo.log 2>&1
is assured of working, just as it would be for "make all" for most
any other GNU product.
I believe that it isn't -- that, currently, the user has to determine
how far the build proceeded so as to "compute" the correct "make" target
in the second make command to get things started again. And that's
counter to the `make' philosophy, as well as to ease-of-use issues.
