llvm dev - Sep 2002 - [LLVMdev] Cleaner gmake output

Compiling with "gmake" should produce less output. The
compilation/linking
flags are always the same anyway, who wants to see so much text on the
screen? Compiling with "gmake VERBOSE=1" should produce all the output
you're used to.

So, here's a patch to do the above:

	/home/vadve/brukman/research/patches/0911-makefile-verbose

Basically it checks for VERBOSE being defined, and if it is, sets VERB
appropriately. VERB is then prepended in a bunch of key places such that
when VERB is "@", the command is not echoed, when VERB is not set to
anything, it's as before.

One thing I could not get rid of is "gmake[1]: Entering directory
<blah>",
but running "gmake -s" suppresses it all, and shows just the
interesting
stuff.

Now output (when running "gmake -s" will look something like):

<snip>
======= Linking target debug library ======Compiling Writer.cpp
Compiling getLLVMinfo.cpp
Compiling as.cpp
Compiling dis.cpp
Compiling opt.cpp
Compiling gccas.cpp
<snip>


Suggestion/comments welcome. If this is deemed good and I should commit
it, let me know.

I haven't looked at the patch yet (will tomomorrow), but I'm not opposed
to the idea as long as compiler warning are still output (I assume they
are if you're just prepending @).  I would prefer to keep the "entering
directory foo" messages, so I won't run with -s, don't try too hard
to
disable those.  :)

Anyone else have any objections?
