shell output lost

[Rustom Mody]

I track the output of large builds by running the make/configure etc from within an emacs shell

Sometimes the build is so large that I also want to track how long it takes (while I go do something else not necessarily on the computer)

So I do something like

date
make
date

in the emacs eshell.  ie I type the second date when the make starts

However I dont see its output (maybe lost somewhere in the make output??)

Any ideas?
