But the same make works fine for u-boot, u-boot does not use auto* as
far as I know.

"grep echo Makefile" in auto* generated Makefile shows
ECHO = echo
            echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p"; \
            echo " $(RANLIB) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p"; \
            echo "$(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL) $$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p"; \
            echo " $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p|sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'|sed '$(transform)'|sed 
's/$$/$(EXEEXT)/'`"; \
            $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p|sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'|sed '$(transform)'|sed 
's/$$/$(EXEEXT)/'`; \
          rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p|sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'|sed 
'$(transform)'|sed 's/$$/$(EXEEXT)/'`; \
        unique=`for i in $$list; do echo $$i; done | \
        unique=`for i in $$list; do echo $$i; done | \
        @echo '$(COMPILE) -c $<'; \
        @echo '$(LTCOMPILE) -c $<'; \
        @echo "This command is intended for maintainers to use;"
        @echo "it deletes files that may require special tools to rebuild."

Notice the "@echo '$(COMPILE) -c $<'; \"
Seems like the is a deliberate echo there
