Sometimes I do infact pass all the source files in at once when I want a full rebuild. Still at any rate, in my experience all the other compilers I've tried (and I've tried quite a few of them), they do output some kind of information on the file currently compiled. This includes, MSVC compilers, Borland compilers and even Digital Mars compiler. Other times this is handy if for example, I don't want make to output the commandlines being used in all it's verbosity, I would pass -s to not echo the command. However, I would still like to see the status of the files as it compiles. I'd imagine this is a rather easy feature to add to gcc, if I were to implement this and submit a patch for it, would it be accepted? (assuming coding style and etiquette are followed)
