Ah! That's a great place to start. The Makefile I'm using is actually
compiling 8051 code with the Keil C51 compiler. The Keil compiler dumps a
whole lot of nonsense text. Here's an example of the output (for every
single .c file):

C51 COMPILER V8.12 - SN: XXXXX-XXXXX
COPYRIGHT KEIL ELEKTRONIK GmbH 1987 - 2008

C51 COMPILATION COMPLETE. 0 WARNING(S), 0 ERROR(S)

And there are similar messages for the linker, assembler and hex
generator. All not-useful output that I can't seem to suppress without
also suppressing errors. But I just ran a gcc-based Makefile, and Vim
didn't pause at all.

Is there a way to prevent Vim from parsing Makefile output? It just
occurred to me that I was running Vim in Cygwin (Windows XP), and it
wasn't pausing there either. It was still Vim version 7.2, but I don't
think it was patched (and possibly compiled with different options).

Thanks,
James

Ps: The Keil tools don't run in Linux, so I'm running them through Wine. I
don't think that's important to know, but I may as well mention it.
