This has finally bugged me enough to do something about it:
make prints `***' when it stops due to an error. With make -j, and/or
with automated build systems, this error marker can be in the middle
of a large logfile. It is useful to be able to search for it.
Therefore change occurrences of `*' to `=' for information and warning
messages. `***' is reserved for cases where the build stops.
A corresponding change is being applied to qemu-xen-unstable.

In particular:
- support merged x86 architecture. To facilitate this it made sense
to encode some existing logic in shell scripts rather than
increasing complicated make conditionals.
- set CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST=y which is required for newer kernels.

This is useful for the non 2.6.18-xen builds where the defconfig at
any particular momement may require additional questions to be
answered.

When building a linux kernel, if the modules build fails, then
the build carries on regardless.
The problem is simple - the "make modules" failure is not seen
by the calling make since its return value is not what is
returned.
