Well, you only have to read the one "Leaving..." after the error
message.  And you have to do that to track down build errors if they
occur anyway.

(a) should be simple enough that if you (or anyone) would like to
submit a patch, there should be no problems approving it.  Make sure
you quote the parens.

(b) can be done similar to the way bootstrap is handled, although
there has been some desire to make such targets from the top affect
the *whole* build, not just the gcc directory.

I don't like (c).  The targets are complex enough to warrant some form
of documentation, and we all know how often users read the regular
documentation.  However, if anyone can come up with a patch that makes
that message be printed *only* when the "make bootstrap" is invoked at
the gcc level, that would probably be OK.
