Thread: cirrus scripts could use make -k

I would find it useful if the cirrus scripts used make -k (and ninja -k) 
to keep building everything in the presence of errors.  For example, I 
once had some issue in code that caused a bunch of compiler warnings on 
Windows.  The cirrus build would only show me the first one, then I had 
to fix, reupload, see the next one, etc.  Are there any drawbacks to 
using these options in this context?

-1 - it makes it much harder to find the first error. To the point of
the error output getting big enough that CI task output gets deleted
more quickly because of the larger output.

I can see -k 3 or something though.
