Are you talking about the new default automake mode?

If it is the new automake silent default then try:

  configure --disable-silent-rules

Or try:

  make V=1

You can set the default make command.  Here are some examples.  Set as
you desire.

  (setq compile-command "make")
  (setq compile-command "make V=0")
  (setq compile-command "make -j4 V=0")

Of course if you are talking about something other than the new silent
automake rules then the above doesn't apply.
