Here is a simple way to do it

Makefile:
ifeq ($(strip $(V)),)
        E = @echo
        Q = @
else
        E = @\#
        Q =
endif
export E Q

%.o: %.c
        $(E) "  CC      " $@
        $(Q) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@


So when V is defined, the make command will display the detailed
compilation message or else it will only show an echoed message. One
can also add a check for verbose level.
