Observed behavior

Running ng build --watch works perfectly fine on the default app in a monorepo with the default app.

However, running ng build mylib --watch or ng build --watch mylib after generating a lib with the CLI gives Unknown option: '--watch'

Desired behavior

Can build any of the apps or libs in an Angular cli monorepo in --watch mode.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

Have tried various combinations of ordering the arguments as well as --watch=true and -w. None seem to work.
