It appears to have been moved from tooltip.el where it was preloaded, to gud.el, so if gud is not loaded it has as good as disappeared.
I don't understand this decision. Why is this now considered a gud specific feature? It was formerly a user option to have messages appear in the echo area rather than as a tooltip. What is gud specific about that? I haven't tracked down which code is using it, but I suspect it is somewhere inside semantic or jdee, run from a timer. The biggest problem for me is that Emacs is jumping to the top of the z-order whenever the message comes up.
