you may want to include this kind of "usage" in the changelog

i dont really like how the changes are integrated.  it'll require constant 
maintenance to add these QUIET prefix vars.  is there a reason we cant go the 
opposite direction and set CC/etc... directly ?  or try unifying things with 
patterns ?

i.e. drop all of the $(AR) calls in board/*/Makefile and replace it with a 
toplevel pattern kind of like:
%.a: %.o
	$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $^ -o $@
