     You can turn dependency checking off by 'configue --disable-dependency-tracking'

      instead just does something like an echo 'compiling XYZ' before that.
     
     This would be a-very-bad-thing. Automake tries hard to make compilation
as portable as generic as possible. With overiding .c.o directive we
will probably loss a lot of these. And probably automake would not allow
this anyway.

     So the build process should be done in such way, that non-critical
errors may be mand critical. For C files -Werror flag should be enough.
And one is looking for errors when something goes wrong, and he will
probably use his editor to find errors in makefile log.
IMHO it is much easier to examine errors  with all these verbose lines
(including full command line), that without them
