My question is, is there some recommended way to get the command lines
printed out as they are executed.

with cmake generated make files you can use make VERBOSE=1 or define the cmake variable CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=On.

 

Also there is something called pybombs. Is this an alternative to
cmake?

No. Pybombs is a way to build gnuradio and dependencies inside a target prefix.

 

If so is the gnuradio build system in a state of flux?

No.

 

Can anyone point me to some document or forum where the whys and
wherefores of the build system are discussed?

I cannot and as far as I know there is no document formally justifying the choices. If you are turned off by cmake compared to autotools then you're probably in the minority of C++ developers [0] (apologies for the crappy presentation, but it's the only source of this info I know of, anyway see box #12).
