The compilers turn source code into pre-processed source code, then into assembler which is then assembled to get the object code. This used to use a temporary file at each intermediary stage, however these days I'm sure the -pipe option is enabled on all platforms for gcc and uses pipes instead of temporary files. So I don't think that's any longer a difference between Windows and Linux.
