No. See http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html, "Rule of Silence".

Also note that usually gcc is not used to compile more than one file
at once (although it can). Don't do this: "g++ *.cpp -o foo". Instead,
write a proper Makefile. Make does echo commands it is executing, and
so you'll see something like:

  g++ -c foo.cpp
  g++ -c bar.cpp
  g++ -o foo foo.o bar.o

Cheers,
