NAK. Please do not add such mess to the Makefile. It does not belong
there. If you want such behaviour, it should be added to the make
command itself.
I repeat myself, but all this cmd_* / quiet_cmd_* stuff etc. we see
in the Linux kernel Makefiles (and copied around into a zillion of
other projects) does not belong to the Makefile; it should be
implemented inside make itself.
I never understood why nobody bothered to solve the problem at the
root.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
