Unless, of course, that rest is so long that the user won't read it all.
There are so many bug reports where users already fail to read past a
  make: *** [foo] Error 1

to paste the full compiler error and its command.

That, on the other hand, sounds like an interesting idea.  We could
easily let configure print something like
  configure: WARNING: There have been warnings during this configure run.

when it has come across a AC_MSG_WARNING.  WDYT?
