But for a buildfarm member this is scarcely necessary - the initdb output
is included in the make check log. See
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_stage_log.pl?nm=tapir&dt=2006-11-11%20080500&stg=check
and search for 'initdb.log'.
We have had a mechanism for limiting parallelism in make check for quite a
while, and this too is supported by the buildfarm script - just set
MAX_CONNECTIONS in the config. This is pretty much required for Cygwin,
but can also be used for any resource starved machine.
