I see. mconf sets that callback after it has already done a few things. So "make -s menuconfig" without a .config will do main() conf_read(NULL) conf_read_simple([...]) conf_message(_("using defaults found in %s"), [...]) conf_message_callback() and at that point conf_message_callback() still points to conf_default_message_callback(). This default uses stdout. So I think I stumbled on a cornercase where one message still can be printed to stdout. Shocking! Neither conf nor gconf or qconf (assuming GTK and Qt are silent, that is) seem to do anything serious before setting that callback, so I don't expect there to be more messages that can break the silence.
