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.
FWIW, I like the Linux-style non-verbose but not completely silent output. It shows what is being built without too much noise. It's useful for sanity checking that edits got saved, dependencies are working, etc.
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.
Unix scripting is inefficient, news at 11. What's the actual time difference?
