Hi,
I'd like to ask that we enable verbose building by default. I have
cmake-utils.eclass in mind, because it's dead easy there, but there's a
lot of packages that support things like "make V=1" or "make VERBOSE=1" too.

I've seen too many bugs reports today that gave me cute, colorful
build.logs and almost no information about underlaying bug...
Cheers,
Kacper

+1

glibc breaks with `make V=1` but I think I saw a fix somewhere recently.

... and with the actual build information, some of Portage's checks can
do their work too.

+1, I'd love to see this being the norm.
