Follow-up Comment #5, bug #67804 (group make):

We are running multiple jobs in parallel and want the output synchronized and
we have make cd to a directory.
Currently make prints these messages once per target (under the conditions
described above).
i agree, printing the same message over and over again is not human friendly.
However, rather than having make to know whether it already printed the
message or not, make could print these messages once each time make does
chdir. It is possible to make such a change. Not sure which tools read this
output and how such change will affect those tools.

For now, you can suppress this output with --no-print-directory or with -s or
by omitting -C $(pwd).
