The output only happens while do_configure failure, it does nothing when 
build succeed,

while failure occurs, I believe related message is the more the better.

The autobuilder is just an example, for community development, it is 
hard to login

others build host to debug issue, and we have to take time to reproduce it

if we could trace it with a simple glance from the log, why not
