Summary0003378: make VERBOSE=0 still does a verbose
DescriptionUsing (g)make on unix.

I expect the value I give the variable to be relevant instead I have the idea that the simple presence of the variable is used.

In particular; I expect VERBOSE=foo to NOT do verbose making.
Only VERBOSE=1 or VERBOSE=true should do that.

The syntax

  make VERBOSE=1

is just a hack to make it look somewhat readable. The way to get non-verbose is to use

  make VERBOSE=

There is no way to implement your desired behavior in plain old makefiles without introducing an extra level of recursion.
