perl -pi -e 's!-o /dev/null!-o /dev/stderr!g' `find . -name Makefile -o
-name MCONFIG` did it for me.

But the previous version only changed the permissions of /dev/null, not
the file type as  Genaldo reported. So the safest version, but specific
to linux, would be to change to /proc/self/fd/2 instead.
