Anything would work, that resolves the '@' to nothing and puts out the
command, an environment var or a switch.

In older udev releases, before we switched to automake, I had
something like this, which behaves a bit like the Linux kernel build,
and V=1 switches off the silent mode:

  V =
  ifeq ($(strip $(V)),)
    E = @echo
    Q = @
  else
    E = @\#
    Q =
  endif
  export E Q

 ...

  $(E) "  CC      " $@
  $(Q) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

  ...

Thanks,
Kay
