The best way (in my opinion) to accomplish this would to have Make use
the $(RM) variable, if present. That way, if you wanted to suppress
that command from being printed, you could set "RM := @rm -f" as a rule.

Well, it is not what he was asking, but... maybe an acceptable solution, useful in other
situations, would be, to filter the output of make through some Perl script. I do this
myself as a routine matter. When people ask, why do you have a wrapper make.bat and not
just call "make.exe" directly, I say, calling programs directly is like riding
a horse without a saddle, it is possible..., but painful and not fun.
So I have a wrapper, in which I prepare the call to make, and then take the
output out of make and do whatever I want with it, for example, if make is
called with parallel option, I save the errors output for the end, or
suppress/interpret any error messages which my users find too cryptic.

Is there a way to suppress printing out built-in commands that GNU-make
executes?
a way to suppress printing out this command as its being executed?
There is no way, short of editing the code, to silence that message
unfortunately.
