I tried to make a reproducible example but failed and gave up.
Waiting 5 seconds when changing anything was too much.
Maybe I am simplifying this too much, and likely overlooking something....
But, the assembler generates the .o files => and they should only be
needed for linking?
So... if you compile units only (which means no linking), or otherwise
stop/defer the linking:
Could you not just wrap the assembler into a small program, that would
start it into the background and return to the compiler pretending to be
done?
But you can already do this with the -s option.
The compiler generates all needed files, and at the end produces a script that does the assembling and linking.
But in the end, if you want to test, you need to wait anyway till everything
is assembled and linked...
