The downside would be that other (much more relevant) output lines
could be easily missed when the log is *that* much longer. If the
gnu-efi commit that the Syslinux's build is pointing to is "the same as
always", then there shouldn't be any problem with the gnu-efi
submodule.
The problem arises with people trying to build Syslinux by themselves,
instead of following the recommended / suggested method.
The gnu-efi*.sh output should be more relevant if Syslinux upstream
code would point now to a newer commit in the gnu-efi git. Once the
result works as expected, the output is no longer useful.
This is more a "package maintainers" problem than a Syslinux upstream
problem.
