            Bug ID: 57747
           Summary: The progress indicator always shows 38%
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: dscott at hmc dot edu

We had a large project which repeatedly hit a compiler or linker error at 38%. 
The build is managed by CMake, and worked correctly before we introduced the
bugs that caused the aforementioned compiler/linker errors.  We finally fixed
the bugs in our code, then re-ran CMake (clearing its cache), ran make clean,
and then ran make.  We were very confused to see the progress indicator always
read 38%.  We terminated compilation and did another make clean.  We then
allowed make to run all the way through --- and the build ran successfully from
start to finish.  However, at every single step along the way, the progress was
reported as 38%.
