I believe the --trace option should fill this requirement.

-debug=b is too verbose, yes.

It would be best if the output were both machine and human readable.  This suggests to me one line per target made, with these tab-separated fields:

  • target name
  • terse reason, e.g. "nonexistent", "outdated"
  • list of prerequisites that are newer

I'm assuming you've tried --debug=b and that's still too verbose?

It would be most useful if there were a way to get make to simply state why each target needs to be made.
