I'm surprised Make doesn't speak here.  Reading the test files, GNU
Make is required, and GNU Make is usually verbose.  In my case I have:

config.status: creating Makefile
make[3]: Entering directory 
`/mnt/nostromo/home/lrde/prof/akim/src/am/tests/testSubDir/obj'
gcc -DPACKAGE=\"target-cflags\" -DVERSION=\"0.0\"  -I. -I..    -DFOO -g -O2 -c 
-o foo-foo.o `test -f foo.c || echo '../'`foo.c
gcc  -g -O2   -o foo  foo-foo.o  
gcc -DPACKAGE=\"target-cflags\" -DVERSION=\"0.0\"  -I. -I..     -g -O2 -c 
../bar.c
gcc  -g -O2   -o bar  bar.o  
make[3]: Leaving directory

Could you

        srcdir=. VERBOSE=yes sh -x ./target-cflags.test

?

Hm, in my case something is rebuilt.

Maybe this version of the file would make it easier to track

target-cflags.test
