Now that this line is doing a non-trivial task,
it might be a good idea to show a short log, like this:

  GEN     include/generated/autoksyms.h

You can do it like this:

quiet_cmd_autoksyms_h = GEN     $@
      cmd_autoksyms_h = mkdir -p $(dir $@); $(BASH)
$(srctree)/scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh $@

$(autoksyms_h):
        $(call cmd,autoksyms_h)
