There is no way to use SPHINXOPTS to get sphinx-build to produce the regular non-quiet output (that the wrapper calls verbose). You have to use KBUILD_VERBOSE to make the damn wrapper not pass -q to sphinx-build. The wrapper appends the -q overwriting anything the user might want to pass on SPHINXOPTS. Which can't be passed anyway because the Makefile overwrites it. -- Jani Nikula, Intel
