The naming of the KBUILD_VERBOSE variable is just an implementation
detail. That it has a similar purpose as a variable of the same name in
Kbuild (the linux kernel buildsystem) is just happenstance.

Buildroot is not using Kbuild, nor is it even remotely based on Kbuild.

After discussing among maintainers, we decided that we did not want to
officially expose that variable.

Yann E. MORIN.
