The current
build=Debug
flag tomake
controls symbols in binary artifacts. We lack a standard way to set verbosity forcmake
so that Makefiles will show full compile lines when executed. These two things are orthogonal to one another, and they are both important.This is crucial for customer support, e.g. on #2402 it was necessary to ask an end user to do a manual edit. This is not sustainable.
Likewise, developers doing sandbox debug often don't need full compile lines hidden from them (which is the default).
A few of us have independently modded this in sandbox. A due appreciation for use of people's time compels us to make this a resuable option in source control.
