Likely that won't happen. It is ugly and hard to detect portably from within a make rule whether -s has been passed to make. It is so much easier for you to just use make >/dev/null for which this: > After all, it is custom that stderr is reserved for errors/warnings only. is another great argument. ;-) BTW, I often use make >/dev/null || make if I don't use a build log, to see the final command verbosely.
