You can set MAKEFLAGS=-s in your shell environment, or add -s to the
current value of MAKEFLAGS if you have one.  That should work.

IMHO this would be good practice only in a universe where everything 
would
always work right.  In our own, this means anytime something goes 
wrong,
you'll have no context for it.  If you don't mind having to change 
flags
and rerun whatever make command failed, when something fails, to find 
out
what went wrong where, it's your call.
