Ooh okay I see, the quiet commands were being ignored as-is. We could
add the lines to handle this to Makefile.syscalls, but I think the
better solution is to move the lines from Makefile.build to
Makefile.perf to be more generically available. Here is a patch for
that. I also added the comment from the kernel Makefile describing what
this does.

Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Expose quiet/verbose variables in Makefile.perf

The variables to make builds silent/verbose live inside
tools/build/Makefile.build. Move those variables to the top-level
Makefile.perf to be generally available.
