Possibly it's your 'make' implementation. 'make V=1' is more-verbose only if your 'make' groks nested variable expansions (a GNU extension to POSIX). If your 'make' doesn't support this feature, the 'V=1' is ineffective, and you have to enable verbosity at configure-time instead. By default, verbosity is disabled because Emacs's configure.ac contains 'AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])'; if you are using a non-GNU 'make' and want verbose output you can configure with './configure --disable-silent-rules'.
