Well, clients make the ‘build-derivations’ RPC, which potentially
involves building several derivations, and the daemon returns the stderr
streams mixed.  So there’s not much that can be done without changing
the daemon and RPCs.

However, note that build logs are kept under $localstatedir.  That’s
what I use when needing to analyze logs.

Thanks,
