If that is the most common command you type, why don't you alias it
to something like 'mkbg' (for make background)?

I have 
alias mkbg 'make \!* >& MADE &' 
alias mkbgW 'mkbg \!* ; tail -f MADE'

for running it in the background, and for running it in the background
while watching the (saved) output.

What's the point in having the csh and aliases if you don't use them?
