[PATCH v2] perf build: Respect V=1 for Python extension builds
From: Jens Remus
Date: Mon Jun 08 2026 - 12:18:37 EST
Make util/setup.py respect the verbose build flag (V=1) by conditionally
passing --quiet only when not in verbose mode.
This eases debugging of Python extension compilation issues and aligns
with the existing perf build system behavior.
