I run all of my lynx builds tee'ing to a file.  For example, one of my
wrappers for 'make':

#!/bin/sh
OUT=make.out
cat >>$OUT <<EOF/
** `date`
** node: `hostname`
** user: `id`
** make: $*
EOF/
make $* 2>&1 | tee -a $OUT

I can experiment with the parts, but don't see where the problem might lie. 
(You did say SunOS, right?  - That still doesn't give me a clue.  If it
were a very-old system, some did not flush stdout before exit, so that
could be the problem - but you could try putting fflush(stdout) and
fflush(stderr) before the calls to exit).
