When using remake, which is based on gnumake, if you invoke an example build as shown below, the build will become silent due to the top level make file incorrectly guessing that the end user wants a silent build because an argument that contained an "s" was used. remake --no-extended-errors Fix up the top level Makefile to use filter with a list of options that mean silent with the various revisions of gnumake, instead of findstring.
