[PATCH v4 3/3] kbuild: respect GNU Make -w flag

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Jun 26 2023 - 19:30:36 EST


Currently, -w (--print-directory) option is ignored, but it is better
to respect the user's choice.

This commit changes the behavior of "Entering directory ..." logging.

If -w (or --print-directory) is given via the command line or the
MAKEFLAGS environment variable, print "Entering directory ..." for every
sub make.

If --no-print-directory is given via the command line or the MAKEFLAGS
environment variable, suppress "Entering directory ..." completely.

If none of them is given, print "Entering directory ..." when Kbuild
changes the working directory at the start of building. (default)
