+PH/01 The amount of output produced by the "make" process has been reduced,
+      because the compile lines are often rather long, making it all pretty
+      unreadable. The new style is along the lines of the 2.6 Linux kernel:
+      just a short line for each module that is being compiled or linked.
+      However, it is still possible to get the full output, by calling "make"
+      like this:
+
+        FULLECHO='' make -e
+
+      The value of FULLECHO defaults to "@", the flag character that suppresses
+      command reflection in "make". When you ask for the full output, it is
+      given in addition to the the short output.
