Ahh... your construction fails to catch standard error. I use bash:  
"make >& mklog & tail -f mklog" works for me. Pure sh would be more
like "make 2>&1 | tee mklog". A lazy way that works for everyone is
"script mklog" and then proceed--but that picks up everything you
type, including backspaces.

"alloca.h" <ptah> is found in old linux distros. You may be able to
simply patch it out. If not, IIRC, most of what would be found there
is in machine/param.h, which is best pulled in via the addition of
``#include <sys/types.h>'' to the relevant files.
