Messages like these are [fairly] new:
   NOTE: Noexec task 3045 of 3117 (ID: 505, /local/poky-amltd/meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-cross_4.5.0.bb, do_package_write)
I don't see that they add much (any?) value and just increase the
noise.  For example, if I rerun 'bitbake some-image' which has N
steps, I get N-2 of these followed by a couple of steps that actually
do the work.  Pretty annoying when N is large (for most images, N is
measured in thousands of steps)

Can these messages be suppressed?  Is there any good reason to show them?

Thanks
