   Agreed - which is why I went on to say this in the same paragraph:

   +However, some programs need to know at
   +compile time where files will be installed, so the user should ensure
   +that the same directory choice is made for both @samp{make all} and
   address@hidden install}.

   Any suggestions on how to improve the wording to make this point
   more explicit?

I will try to think of something--please give me a day or two, I don't
like the current wording since it indirectly contradicts the GCS, and
is very unclear.  

Thanks for mentioning V=0 and --disable-silent-rules, I didn't know
about that!
