This does not have much information:
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED
Without the silent option, the reaon behind it can be seen:
1 out of 1 hunk ignored -- saving rejects to file bifont.c.rej
There are already 100's of messages printed during build. I'd consider
seeing informational failure messages the most important to preserve.
