No, there isn't. FPC currently does not show any output from the linker, but
even if it did I don't think there's any parameter you can give to the linker
to make it print a progress report.
Thanks Jonas- it's taking about a week to compile/link in the extreme
case and something predictable- even if it was just a temporary file
with a timestamp that changed predictably- would be really useful.
Fortunately I've got a somewhat more powerful system that I can put
Solaris on, but compared with Linux it really is a resource hog.
