For me, this would make the output of switch-arch unnecessarily verbose. 
Most of the effort goes into building a cross-compile setup, so once the 
compiler is configured this output effectively becomes noise.

I would consider a patch for an optional "-v" (verbose) argument to 
switch-arch to aid people setting up their environment though.
