Thanks for your efforts. I will not object against adding such changes, but - speaking strictly for myself only - I don't see much of improvement from it. It doesn't help me in my daily work. Usually I find myself in one of two situations: either I just want to build U-Boot for a board and don't want to see any messages from the build process except error messages - then I use "make -s"; or I'm debugging the make process itself, and I want to see all commands in full detail, then I run plain "make". Well, to be honest, usually I'm doing none of these. In 95% of all cases I just run "MAKEALL boardname" as this gives me the best of both solutions: a silent build process with only warnings and errors printed, and if something goes wrong and needs further investigation I still have the full build lon in the LOG/ directory, i. e. I don't have to re-run the make. So my question is: which problem are you trying to solve that is not already solved by "make -s" or "MAKEALL"? I don't really see the need for a solution between no output and full output. YMMV, of course. Hope I didn't frustrate you - I still appreciate the effort.
