When running `nix build -L` it can be fairly hard to read the output if the build program intentionally renders whitespace on the left. A typical example is `g++` displaying compilation errors. With this patch, the whitespace on the left is retained to make the log more readable: ``` foo> no configure script, doing nothing foo> building foo> foobar.cc: In function 'int main()': foo> foobar.cc:5:5: error: 'wrong_func' was not declared in this scope foo> 5 | wrong_func(1); foo> | ^~~~~~~~~~ error: --- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nix error: --- Error --- nix-daemon builder for '/nix/store/i1q76cw6cyh91raaqg5p5isd1l2x6rx2-foo-1.0.drv' failed with exit code 1 ``` |
