Internal rules are disabled in kbuild, see the toplevel Makefile:
# Do not:
# o  use make's built-in rules and variables
#    (this increases performance and avoids hard-to-debug behaviour);
# o  print "Entering directory ...";
MAKEFLAGS += -rR --no-print-directory

The rule for _shipped files is in scripts/Makefile.lib
