After upgrading to make v4.4.1 (released last week), there's no longer any progress output from builds of the Linux kernel v4.19 and earlier. It seems the actual build still works, but it's now silent except for warnings and errors.
It bisects to the following 'make' commit:

kbuild: add --include-dir flag only for out-of-tree build
But only for in-tree builds. Out-of-tree builds need:

kbuild: make -r/-R effective in top Makefile for old Make versions
Masahiro, what dependencies (if any) do the above two commits have in order to be backported to 4.19 and 4.14?
