Description
This way `make V=1` would make the top level makefile verbose, but not the per-module makefiles. `make V=2` would make both verbose, etc.

Research direction
Start with the top-level Makefile and trace how it invokes the per-module sub-makefiles. Check how the V value is passed between those entry points, then verify that V=1 enables verbosity only at the top level while higher values enable it in progressively deeper makefiles.
