You can also look at the `script` command.  When executed, a new shell will 
begin and all output to terminal is stored in a file which can be checked 
after the fact.

So, your buildworld will look something like this:

# script /tmp/buildworld-output
Script started, output file is /tmp/buildworld-output
# make buildworld
.. lots of text ..
# exit
Script done, output file is /tmp/buildworld-output
#

If you see no fatal errors which terminated the buildworld process, it's 
safe to say that it completed successfully.
