No, it does not. It only saves the command it runs and corresponding environment for the configure and build of each package.

Could it be easily added?

It is not difficult to add, I think. Will attempt some creative tee use.

I've added this feature. dorsal_configure.log and dorsal_build.log hold the logs.

Just a heads-up. This used to be in dorsal.sh, but was removed (don't
remember why):

    if [ $BASH_VERSINFO -ge 3 ]
    then
 set -o pipefail
 ./dorsal_build 2>&1 | tee build_log
    else
 ./dorsal_build
    fi
    quit_if_fail "There was a problem building ${NAME}."

Without the pipefail option, errors are not propagated (reliably). I
think. And pipefail is only in new bash versions.

I vaguely remember this too, and do not remember when or why it was
removed. Thanks for pointing it out; I've readded it.
