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). There's no way to fix that in Koji.
