Follow-up Comment #1, bug #35248 (project make):

It looks to me like somewhere in your makefiles you are invoking make and
capturing its output and using that as part of the makefile so make is trying
to parse it.  When you run make with -d it not only prints its normal output
that you expect, but also all the debug output.

I don't really see what can be done about that, from make's point of view.  It
can't know, itself, that this particular invocation of make should work
differently.

This does seem like a possible valid enhancement request: that there be a flag
to TURN OFF debugging.  I don't think there's any way to do that today.

What, exactly, is in the makefile ../../../coreconf/rules.mk at line 327 (and
thereabouts)?
