Eclipse external builder creates makefiles with lot of @echo commands like “Building file”, “Invoking: MCU GCC Compiler” and “Finished building”. Is it possible to get rid of them?

I found a way to add @ symbol to beginning of the compiler command line pattern settings (at Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Tool Settings) to suppress printing long command line calls of compiler, but ideally i just like to stick with “Building file: xxx” and that’s it. This way it’s much easier to spot the warnings and errors. When using parallel build those echo’s are so messed up anyway that they are getting irritating. With custom makefile it’s possible but that’s not worth of losing the other nice things about using IDE.

I have tried to google but didn’t find answer. I think Eclipse CDT is the one which creates the makefiles, but couldn’t understand if it can be changed.

Somebody else has asked it also, but no response:
