That's more effort than I could be bothered with at the moment.
(I'm not saying it's a bad idea though)

"make build" already prints the date it started, and those three
targets call "make build" before they perform their extra
functionality.

I just save the output of my make's to a log file and then head &
tail the file. :-)
