Hi,

You can use this perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# This is timestamp.pl
use strict;
my $line=undef;
my $stamp;
while (defined ($line = <>)) {
$stamp = localtime (time ());
print ("$stamp: $line");
}
echo "foo" | ./timestamp.pl

So, something like 'make buildworld 2>&1 | ./timestamp.pl' is what you
want.
