My builds kept failing today; without this commit I wouldn't have been able
to find the exact sequence of commands leading to the crashs and the root bug
would not have been fixed.

None of the verbose build options documented in the wiki were working. Having
a clean non-verbose terminal output may be a pretty thing but if it leads to
lost hours of work, it's definitively _not_ an improvement.

I'm grateful to Bjoern for having re-established the verbose output behavior.
