From my point of view (as a porter), Makefiles hiding details, or Makefiles I have to look at before I can be sure that they don't lie, are just additional work. And hiding details doesn't give anyone anything IMHO.
In this certain case, it's the best to just hide the output as it will be only confusing (who wants to read lots of for loops and printfs?). I can perfectly understand that you want to see the flags used as you don't have time to check every buildsys manually. I'm a packager myself, so I know the problems. In fact, I also prefered verbose build systems before I wrote this. But I decided that in this case it will be better like this. And this is why I didn't hide the CFLAGS over 1000 of different places, it's just buildsys.mk what the user needs to attach on a bug report, all Makefiles are static :).
