In my scripts, I have an option "--disable-echo", which does the same 
thing.  Oddly enough (but worth repeating since none of the cons who 
respond to this relatively frequent request appear to have noticed that 
the error messages give line numbers, and better compilers/tools give 
column numbers as well), that's enough for all but a very small fraction 
of the time.

(Perhaps someone should clone automake, naming it "autobuild" or something 
like that, and fix this and the other frequently-ignored-requests ;-)
