The goal is to show progress without burying warnings and errors in
the noise of long commands.
Options VERBOSE=1 and SILENT=1 make the output more like the usual
"make" and "make -s" (respectively).
The verbosity level affects the options that are passed to some
commands, but there is room for improvement in this area.
Diff:
Passes make, make check and a full make doc.
Can I just check though ... after applying this patch I just ran the usual make clean/make check/make doc (with some -j and CPU_COUNT options) but without any '-S' option and yet I still got the very terse output. I am reading the description as:
make (without -s) should be verbose
Is that incorrect?
make VERBOSE=1 CPU_COUNT=x -jx ...
