Does compiling multiple C files at once have other benifits?  And do you
have to link them at the same time?  I have always thought that a line such
as "gcc file1.c file2.c -o app.elf" is equivilent to seperately compiling
each C file, and then linking them as a seperate pass - hence the
traditional makefile to re-compile modules to object files as necessary.
