my solution saved the output.  /dev/null is not very verbose ;-)

In general a good learning point is
http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html

My preference will be to save all the log on different files
and to not suppress anything

make |& tee make_build.log
make install |& tee make_install.log

It is a personal taste of course
