2978	Use silent make for packages that produce a log too big to be readable	Gilles Espinasse	lfs-book@…	"Particulary for glibc compilation and testsuite, using make -s (or --silent if using long option) produce a much nicer log when you want to read only the essential.
This could remove 'grep Error' need for the testsuite.
Size decrease from 11 MB to 100kB for the compilation log and from 3MB to 100kB (on glibc-2.11)

For the test suite, I tested too using --no-print-directory and find log easier to read with that option. The line with make -C already show on which directory the work is done, so 'Entering directory' and 'Leaving directory' lines only overload the log.

To give credit, where I saw glibc compiled and tested silently is in Fedora spec file."	task	closed	normal	7.1	Book	SVN	normal	worksforme
