What is the rationale for this patch? I can see no real advantage with
it.

If you find the make output annoying, you can silence make by passing
the "-s" flag.

On the other hand, your patch braks building with "-s" - I get:

$ make -s all
grep: writing output: Broken pipe
a - ppc_longjmp.o
a - ppc_setjmp.o
a - stubs.o
a - bzlib.o
a - bzlib_crctable.o
a - bzlib_decompress.o
a - bzlib_randtable.o
a - bzlib_huffman.o
a - crc16.o
a - crc32.o
a - ctype.o
a - display_options.o
a - div64.o
a - gunzip.o
a - lmb.o
a - ldiv.o
a - sha1.o
a - string.o
a - strmhz.o
a - vsprintf.o
a - zlib.o
a - io.o
a - firmware_sc_task_bestcomm.impl.o
a - firmware_sc_task.impl.o
a - i2c.o
a - traps.o
a - cpu.o
a - cpu_init.o
a - ide.o
a - interrupts.o
a - loadtask.o
a - pci_mpc5200.o
...

etc.

Even without "-s" there are some errors for example  when  I  try  to
build the "TQM5200" configuration.

But most of all, your patch costs  a  lot  of  additional  processes.
Running  "make  all"  for  above  configuration  takes 2150 processes
without your patch, and 2410 with it. And this does  not  even  count
the additional calls to shell builtins.


Unless you have a  really  good  reason  why  this  patch  should  be
applied, I tend to reject it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
