%make_build_verbose doesn't make sense, it doesn't help with the problems and 
is just longer to type.

But as for the PR itself: actually you always want full verbosity when building 
packages, so I don't see why not. If somebody really wants a quiet build they 
can either override (%make_build V=0) or run rpmbuild --quiet. Hand-written 
makefiles will always be case-by-case but we're after the common case here.

Once upon a time, there was an initiative to force verbosity in %configure, but 
that "broke" some packages where %configure was used for non-autoconf builds. 
Passing V=1 (and VERBOSE=1) to make doesn't have that problem, and if 
somebody's package breaks by having V= mean something else... well, that's life.
