If you want it on for some reason, you can turn it on in your local.conf:

    EXTRA_OECMAKE_append=" -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=1"

Alternatively, you can turn verbosity on for a single invocation (this 
is what I do when I need it):

    make VERBOSE=1

You can also set an environment variable to make it always verbose, if 
you want that for some reason:

    VERBOSE=1 make

Do we really need a new variable for this?
