I don't entirely agree here. While -j5 is well known, -Orecurse
certainly isn't, and I'd like to have something that has a reasonable
behavior out of the box.

Same here: if you don't solve the logging problem, top-level parallel
build is horrible. You can't debug anything, it's a total mess.

Yes, it's just one small aspect of the problem, but it's one aspect
that needs to be solved.
