These are both problems in DBI's Makefile.PL, not MakeMaker. Both can
be fixed with simple patches to Makefile.PL (for a) and lib/DBI/DBD.pm
(for b) by simply adding in $(NOECHO) $(NOOP) as you suggest. Patch
attached. You'll probably also need to send something similar to the
DBD::ODBC author as he likely parroted some of the DBI Makefile.PL code.
