How is that Koji's fault? The operating system and/or C library caches stdio
writes, they aren't output immediately unless fflush is explicitly called, and
Koji has no control on the processes which are outputting to the redirected
stdout (make and its subprocesses).
stdout/stderr are being flushed upon all "\n"'s.
The compiler-call the build job hung on ppc64, on all other
architectures takes in the "order of minutes"
=> the logs are being flushed at the same rate
There's no way to fix that in Koji.
