Re: Noisy ./build.sh with -N0

Hello,

Excuse me but for some reason I had no reply to this mail in my mailbox... and I can see only your response at the mailing-list.

Here is my output:

It starts with building several tools with full log of ./configure && make... is it on purpose that -N0 doesn't make it silent? I do almost daily builds at a remote host and this link noise is undesired (also no gain with it).

There are walk-arounds of redirecting this to /dev/null or a file at tmpfs thought... but I don't want to kill all output. I would prefer to see output similar to this:
[...]
obj ===> tools/zic
obj ===> tools/stat
obj ===> tools/config
obj ===> tools/groff
obj ===> tools/mandoc
cleandir ===> host-mkdep
cleandir ===> binstall
cleandir ===> compat
cleandir ===> mktemp
[...]

With sole information what was done and only in case of error output it to stdout/stderr.
