Basically, the problem I'm seeing is that the cl.exe (the visual C 
command line compiler) is occasionally stalling when being driven from 
the LibreOffice makefiles.
It appears that one of the ends of the pipe is waiting on something.
Setting the pipe_byte flag seems to help with the cl.exe, but it causes 
other weird issues elsewhere.
