Please make the default "make" procedure display all warnings that the user would see by compiling Emacs itself. I know we disagree about this: you think that compiler warnings are for the developers, not for the users. I think the default "make" should send as much warnings as Emacs sends with its own default "make". Moreover, I think we don't know who is a developer and who is a user. For example, I'm a developer, Eric is a developer, and we both ignored that the current "make" was hiding warnings. Even developers sometimes don't run "make helpall" -- only those who wants to use something else than the default compilation method. If a user wants the compilation to go faster, he can always use another instruction (the current "make" -- renamed "make quiet"?) Thanks, -- Bastien
