Please no.
The problem with the too verbose build output in lilypond is not
related at all to the *make* output, IMHO. --enable-silent-rules
only hides crucial information. Heck, at OpenBSD we even spent time
to force --disable-silent-rules on all software packages by default,
because it just sucks if a build fails and you don't see the exact
command line parameters passed to the compiler or the linker.
