Output Using coshell means nmake jobs are being processed in parallel.
Unfortunately, the output from these jobs also comes in parallel, which means the output from the concurrent jobs will be mixed together. For example, the output from a particular compile may not follow directly after its compile command line. This makes it difficult to read the build output, especially when tracing errors, since it is hard to match command line executions with the corresponding output and errors. The job of this feature is to organize this mixed-up output on the fly, thus making the build output from concurrent jobs much more meaningful. See the nmake lu3.2 Release Notes for more information.
