That's not nearly the same thing as multiple output files
for a single compilation.

In that case I'd have a single data structure used by the
thread that contained the entire compilation context.  One
of the members would be a single FILE pointer.

Jason is arguing for multiple FILE pointers.  I want to 
know why, and if possibly what is actually wanted is a
single FILE pointer that is sequentially opened to several
output files.
