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.
