This might become interesting.  Makefile.modpost is called in several
different situations (e.g. in-tree kernel build, single target builds,
out-of-tree module builds), and if we want to get full shell script
output with --dry-run for all these situations, this probably has to be
refactored in more depth.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
