V=1 (verbose build) shows commands executed by Make, but it may cause misunderstanding. For example, the following command shows the outstanding error message. $ make V=1 INSTALL_PATH=/tmp install test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo >&2; \ echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo >&2 ; \ /bin/false) unset sub_make_done; ./scripts/install.sh It is not an error. Make just showed the recipe lines it has executed, but people may think that 'make install' has failed. Likewise, the combination of V=1 and O= shows confusing "*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'". Suppress such misleading logs.
