'silent' kernel builds ?

Hi,
I was trying to make buildkernel a bit quieter (just listing
the name of the file being compiled).

I hoped to modify the " .c.o: " rules in  share/sys.mk but apparently
kernel builds generate their own Makefile using definitions in
sys/conf/kern.pre.mk .

As a result, a patch like the one below gets most of the work done
(a few extra bits are necessary to mask the awk calls, and the
'irregular' compiler invocations).

However I could not found the rule definition used to build modules,
any idea where to look ?

And finally, is there interest in this feature ?

	cheers
	luigi
