For gcc, it's possible: just use the (undocumented) -Q switch.  It causes 
the compiler to print the name of every function it compiles.

For other programs, it currently cannot be done.  One problem is that 
some of the info shown by GO32 is available in v2.0 only to the DPMI 
host, and thus cannot be easily made for every DPMI host out there.

Btw, what would you do with any other compiler to see it's progress?
