You can either do evaluation in shell code at rule runtime (with the
implied overhead), or make the verbose/non-verbose decision already at
configure (config.status) time by setting or substituting some variable.
I think somebody even posted a patch for this sometime that was written
in a way so you could choose verbosity at `make' time, by carefully
preceding all commands with some macro. Turning off that macro could
then choose the other-style output.
FWIW, I currently use `make -s LIBTOOLFLAGS=--silent || make' or,
preferably, let my editor postprocess build output. Progress on this
issue would be a good thing though.
Cheers,
