Given that devs knows make better than users, I think it's acceptable
to require make V=1 to enable the verbose output.
Actually, openwrt has it this way, except that they use make V=99

I think the log is even better than what we have currently. Quite
often, the cause of the failed build is show several lines above the
end of the build, specially when doing parallel build (make -j2)
