Yes, I was a bit surprised to discover that the existing --verbose
flag which is documented in the manual to

  "Print out ... additional messages not ordinary seen by default"

does not disable this suppression.  If it did, then presumably automated
build robots (at least when it comes to Automake-generated packages)
could just build with make LIBTOOLFLAGS=--verbose and be done.
