Are you suggesting adding more space characters before the carriage return
in the progress reporting line, like this? Since the line includes both
elapsed and remaining times, its total length doesn’t change much.
I think adding five spaces before the carriage return should be enough.
Thoughts?

-			chars = fprintf(stderr, INT64_FORMAT " of " INT64_FORMAT " tuples (%d%%) of %s done (elapsed %.2f s, remaining %.2f s)   %c",
+			chars = fprintf(stderr, INT64_FORMAT " of " INT64_FORMAT " tuples (%d%%) of %s done (elapsed %.2f s, remaining %.2f s)%5s%c",
  							j, total,
  							(int) ((j * 100) / total),
-							table, elapsed_sec, remaining_sec, eol);
+							table, elapsed_sec, remaining_sec, "", eol);
