Ok, it creeps :) But it will eventually get finished compiling.  Just
have to wait a few hours or days for larger projects.  If you break the
source up into small chunks and use a make utility, rebuilds for bug
fixes or whatnot becomes tolerable since you're only compiling a very
small portion of the program.
