I have heard of systems with such linkers.  However, "linker" may be
a misnomer; it really involves writing some sort of intermediate code
into "object files", and finishing the compilation of the entire program
all at once at the end.

It might be possible to extend GCC this way, but it would be a lot of
work.  I don't know how much faster the output would run.  I don't plan
to work on this, so feel free.
