My project has a lot of files in it, and linking takes a fairly
long time. I'm not bothered by this, but I'd like to know more or
less where I am in the linking process, just so I can tell if I
have time to go get another cup of coffee or not. The man pages
for ld say that the '-t' option will allow you to trace where the
linker is at in its process, but when I pass that in (via the
Other Linker Flags option), I don't get anything back. Am I doing
something wrong? Is there a better way that I'm not seeing?
The -t output should be in the full build transcript. But the way
that the build transcript is piped it's not going to do wha tyou
want, that is, spit out line by line what the linker progress is.
It' more a diagnostic dump of linker input and state, not a
progress indicator (I've never been sure why it's -t instead of -v).

Thanks Chris. As always, you're right. After I sent that message
off (and went for another cup of coffee) I came back and found the ld
output sitting there waiting for me. I've experimented since then,
and it behaves like you say; it dumps the output at the very end, so
I can't use it as a progress indicator.
<pure wishful thinking>
I guess when I write my own compiler/linker/IDE/etc. I'll have to
think about that and put progress messages into the linker.

Thanks,
