When I compile something, I'm always happy to see the full command line, as it allows me to see missing or wrong flags instantly, rather than in some misbehaviour later. Even the Linux kernel has an option to view the full command lines, for exactly that reason. People that are scared by a compiler command line should not be compiling stuff themselves, especially since these are usually the people that compile stuff just because their distribution is not P4-optimized.
