You could try tee

  $ ./build.sh -r -x -O ../obj -T ../tools -U distribution | tee 
/var/tmp/buildlog.txt

or even plain old

  $ ./build.sh -r -x -O ../obj -T ../tools -U distribution > 
/var/tmp/buildlog.txt
  $ tail -f /var/tmp/buildlog.txt

to watch what's going on...  proably "cleaner", too...
