I can appreciate wanting the flags more visible in build logs, but I think
having them set twice: once loudly, once silently, will make debugging
problems more confusing than if they're only set once, even if silent.

Could we emit our special flags as part of standard output, so they'd be
more visible to developers when troubleshooting?

Thanks
