True, but as you say below, it doesn't guarantee that the actual issue
appears in the last part of the build log.

True. Needs some logic in extract_end_log() in autobuild-run.

So what should we do ? Build with -Otarget, and keep the last ~500
lines before the "Waiting for unfinished jobs" ?

Absolutely true, that's a very good point that you have here.
