shell output lost

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?

For this, try `time'.

You can try this instead:

date ; make ; date
