OK, thanks.
It is really just an annoyance seeing these repeated warnings about
unused variables flutter through on the screen while waiting for the
make to finish. Since it is a make command with repeated executions
there is really nothing one can do about it and due to the speed and
limited size of the terminal buffer you are unlikely to ever be able
to check them afterwards in any case...

And those blank lines you mention, which just create black screens now
and then seem totally superfluous.
Anyway, no functional problem, just an annoyance.
Wanted to check if there was a switch like "quiet" or similar to make.
