Yes, but that is usually not really that useful as gbuild does not wait to
complete one module before starting the next. You usually see gbuild compiling
a lot of stuff and only at the end it links and touches the module touchtargets.
So you would see very slow progress, and then it suddenly explodes to the finishline.
