Hiding in the sense of: they don't stand out, they aren't really
visible.

Well, 'make -s' is the command I'm using in 99% of compiles ;) For
warnings (or errors) I see a nice line, else just filenames ...

I don't know, if $ENV{MAKEFLAGS} and "-s" is available everywhere.

There are some changes e.g. when different CFLAGS settings are used, or
for compiling classes. When there is a problem with compiling, just type
another 'make' and you'll get again "Compiling with ...".
