Could you please also remove the other unnecessary lines as well, from the default
build log:

The build process is using a ton of files and we don't list them. Maybe print them
when V=1, but not by default.

The only lines printed should be:

> Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#75)
> GENIMAGE arch/x86/boot/image.iso

Users are totally not interested in the details. They want to see a single line of
output about which file is being built, but that's it.

Thanks,

Ingo
