Oh interesting: adding -j seems required here.  I guess without -j, -O
doesn't do much anyway so maybe it is related.

This feels like a bug to me; I'd have to look more closely.  Maybe
there was some reason we added this output, in this situation, that I'm
forgetting now.

TBH I have had GNUMAKEFLAGS=--no-print-directory set in my environment
for so long now I don't even think about this output anymore.
