Dear automake developers!
A standard `libtool` invocation line generated by automake looks like:
```
LTCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) $(AM_V_lt) --tag=CC $(AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS) \
$(LIBTOOLFLAGS) --mode=compile $(CC) $(DEFS) \
$(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) \
$(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)
```
Sometimes files compiled using the method above make the compiler emit errors. Those errors are suppressed by default which makes troubleshooting impossible. `libtool` has a command line option, `-no-suppress` which can be used to make the compiler verbose. Unfortunately, there is no way to inject that option since `libtool` demands that it comes after `--mode=compile`. `AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS` nor `LIBTOOLFLAGS` cannot be used for that purpose since "it is too early", according to `libtool`'s command line parser. It is somewhat possible to use `AM_CFLAGS` for that purpose but then it breaks modes other than `--mode=compile`.
Is there any way to make libtool more verbose?
Thanks in advance!
