--- Comment #3 from Adam Weinberger <adamw@FreeBSD.org> ---
-x produces a MASSIVE amount of text, most of it providing very, very little
useful information. Go -v with error messages have been sufficient for every
FreeBSD Go problem I'm trying to solve.

I agree that we should ensure -x is available, but I'm not convinced that we
need it to be the default. My knee-jerk thought would be to have a make.conf
knob like GO_VERBOSE (or even attach it to WITH_DEBUG) but default it to off.

So, my thinking is that it would provide almost no useful debugging information
in 95% of the cases, but I would definitely like to make that knob trivial to
activate for the remaining 5%.

If you feel strongly that it should be either the default or mandatory, I'm
open to being convinced.
