No, to write a new minimake, that can even use remarks telling it what rules
to seek and run, without supporting any variables or other make features.
This should be good enough for the first steps, getting /usr/bin accessible.

Line-output does not seem to get mixed (output is flushed on a per-line
basis), and using seperate log files does resolve this, as timestamps are
attached to each message, you know at ANY given point what was running, what
was loading, and what anything said.

Alright, I could simply redirect the output of every script I run to $@.log,
and have it add a timestamp of when the log was started at least, if the
daemon doesn't add timestamps to its output.
