or it will hide it. either the bug is systematic and the difficulty to identify the culprit is a display problem.. for instance Windows build are flooded with zillions of link warning that make indeed very hard to find the actual failure... and in debug mode the dumping of thousand of random info: warn: message also hide the tree in the forest. but these are also true in -j1 if the bug is not systematic it is quite possible that it will stop showing at -j1 In any case rebuilding the entire thing with -j1 is wasteful and discouraging and imo that should never be the 'answer'.
