Or make the linker fast enough that it doesn't need a progress indicator.

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.
