I assume this is when you run validate?

make -j1, which is make's default, but validate invokes make with -j2 or
higher (depending on how many CPUs it thinks your system has).

validate sets the GHC build system variable V=0 in mk/are-validating.mk.
You can override it from the make command line with make V=1.

So, you can run "make V=1" to restart the build serially and with the
command to build each file displayed. Note that serial make may build
modules in a different order than parallel make, so it may take a while for
make to get around to building the module that failed.
