This would be a neat feature.

Anyone is always welcome to try to create and submit patches.

OTOH, I don't know how you'd go about creating this feature.  For example, make has 
little or no communication with the compiler or linker.  Even if it did, these tools 
typically don't advertise how much more work they have -- I'm not even sure if it's
possible for them to know how much more work they have.  And compiles and links are 
the simple cases.

What about targets whose actions are completely custom?
