Care to give an example of a make where -q means quiet?

The historically interested can note what Stuart Feldman's 7th edition
paper (Make -- A Program for Maintaining Computer Programs) has to say
about the matter:

-q   Question.  The make command returns a zero or  non-zero
     status  code depending on whether the target file is or
     is not up to date.
