Parallel builds: linker and compiler start at same time

[Denis]

I set number of processor to 2 at GCC compiler options. When I change one source file and start to build, I see two messages at once:

Compiling: some_source.cpp
Linking executable: some_exe.exe

It looks like linker and compiler start at same time. Is this bug or not?

No, the 2nd message is displayed but actually waits for the 1st to finish.

May be better to show linker message after compile process have completed?
