well (recalling previous discussion), the reason that Ralf's complaining
is that while it makes working on your program simpler it makes

If you think seeing those long gcc command lines in a *coreutils* build
will help you track down bugs in automake, you're welcome to use "make V=1".
It's just no longer the default.
Besides, considering that automake is so robust and stable these days,
why should I sacrifice coreutils development efficiency for the
dubious promise of increased ease of spotting automake bugs?
Even if by "bugs in automake", you mean "bugs in coreutils' Makefile.am
files", it's not a worthwhile trade-off.
It sounds as if you're agreeing with me.
