A few days ago, somebody (I forget who - sorry) posted a message mentioning
the undocumented command line switch -. (minus period) which causes the
initial message to be suppressed. This is only present on LC1 and LC2
however (presumably so that LC can make them supress THEIR messages, while
it prints out messages of its own). So the solution is to alter your makefile
to call LC1 and LC2 seperately, with appropriate parameters, rather than
using LC to do the dirty work.

For example:

.c.o:
      LC1 -. -iINCLUDE: -oQUAD: $*.c
      LC2 -. -o$*.o QUAD:$*
