Odd. I don't see that. Hiding all warnings would certainly be
bad, but I still seem to get warnings. I'll go back and look at that more
closely.

Oops. I hadn't thought of that. I didn't even know it existed -- I had
to go look it up! Good catch.
If 'make -s' is indeed useful, then I agree we oughtn't be doing an end
run around it. Hmm. It might be possible and sensible to have
tools/dev/cc_flags.pl only print the command if $ENV{MAKEFLAGS} doesn't
contain 's'. Or perhaps it's simpler and better to just retract the
patch.

That's probably not that useful -- in the usual case, there are no
changes, so the 'Compiling with ....' line might be a couple of thousand
lines above the current executing command.
