Here's what I use for a silent build:
brmake() {
make "${@}" \
|sed -r -e '/^.{4}>>>[[:space:]]+(.*).{5}$/!d; s//\1/;'
}
Then calling 'brmake' instead of 'make', will get you only the >>> lines.
Of course, does not work if you invoke a CLI configurator, either
directly, or as a consequence of a missing .config. I basically
always call it with no argument, otherwise, I use plain 'make'.
