Nice. Well I've been using FreeBSD since 4.7, and I don't believe I've
seen this once.

Not `BSD user', but just `user'. We can't take somethink that was
used back in FreBSD 3.0 as common and expected thing. By least
astonishment I mean:
- I do not expect to see difference between plain make and parallel
make.
- I do not expect extra messages
- I do not expect behaviour change compared to previous version
Remember, make is not only used in FreeBSD kernel, but also in ports
(I know -j is not widely used there, but I believe it will someday)
and by users themselves. Common knowledge is that make does echo
commands executed by default. Then command's stdout/stderr may follow.
But there are NO extra messages by default.

Have they modified make to display these? I doubt. I agree that
such logs are more readable, but it should be done in a way that
- does not affect third parties
- still is more customizable and verbose than --- $TARGETNAME ---
That is, change sys.mk:
.c:
${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${.TARGET} ${.IMPSRC}
.c:
.if defined (KERNEL_BUILDING) || defined (WORLD_BUILDING) # or how's that
checked
@echo "CC ${.TARGET}"
.endif
${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${.TARGET} ${.IMPSRC}
so it's only conditional for system compilation.
