The Makefile for the linux-2.6.x kernels were rewritten to cleanup the
output, like you said. Therefore, in order to cleanup the output in
garnome, *all* of the Makefile files for all of the packages would need
to be changed ( and that is a lot of Makefiles ).

The best solution is to simply redirect stdout to /dev/null ( e.g. make
> /dev/null ).  This will still leave stderr to the screen for you to
see the error messages.
