I made a similar change to my own tree once, but never posted it
because I didn't think anyone else would care. But since you mention
it... Mine worked differently: rather than printing more ==='s, it
printer the directories inbetween where the make was stated and where
it's just entered, ie:

===> csu
===> csu/i386

This has two advantages: early parts of the directory aren't lost as
===> lines scroll off, and since the dicrectory is printed in full all
in one place, one can cut and paste it directly into a cd command. If
a make dies somewhere, you just snip the last ===> line, cd to it, and
you're there. 

I no longer have the patches, though.
