I am sure that you can write an awk script to do that.  Then do

  make 2>&1 | yourscript

A big difference between Automake projects and building the Linux 
kernel is that building the linux kernel is practically assured to 
succeed where as building Automake projects may fail and require 
correction by the end user (who needs to see what is going on).
