Clojurians Log v2

I use tools-build to compile clojure code with something like this

(b/compile-clj {:basis basis
                    :src-dirs (mapv #(str dir-prefix %) ["src"])
                    :class-dir class-dir})

However, when it fails, it doesn't provide much information apart from throwing an exception in this place

(throw (ex-info (str "Clojure compilation failed, working dir preserved: " (.toString working-dir)) {}))

Is there a way to get more details? I could only do so by manually augmenting process-args here https://github.com/clojure/tools.build/blob/master/src/main/clojure/clojure/tools/build/tasks/compile_clj.clj#L106

process (process/process (assoc process-args
                                        :out :write
                                        :out-file "compile.out"
                                        :err :write
                                        :err-file "compile.err"))

and then inspecting the compile.err file.
