<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The reason is that when a target fails, it keeps compiling 8000 source files, and we have to search Jenkins (web-based) logs of stdout/stderr to find what actually failed. It also
chews up resources with no benefit.<o:p></o:p></p>
