In GNU Make, the $(if) function evaluates to true if the condition expands to any non-empty string. If a user sets make V=0, $(V) expands to the string "0", which Make considers true. Consequently, $(if $(V),true,printf ...) will execute true;, silencing the BTFIDS output entirely. The standard msg macro used for other compilation steps explicitly checks ifeq ($(V),1). This results in inconsistent behavior where V=0 correctly prints brief messages like TEST-OBJ but silently skips BTFIDS. Could this explicitly check for "1", such as using $(if $(filter 1,$(V)),true,printf ...) to accurately match the behavior of the msg macro? --- AI reviewed your patch.
