Not true.  Make doesn't do anything at all with the stdout of
commands that it invokes; they are still attached directly to the same
stdout as make itself.

If you run this makefile:

    target: ; echo one; sleep 1; echo two; sleep 1; echo three

you'll see "one" printed, followed by a 1 second wait, then "two" printed,
followed by a 1 second wait, then "three" printed.
