You could solve that with a wrapper script for the compiler/linker. As 
arguments it would take command line arguments like:

compile -c foo.cpp -o foo.o
link -o foo foo.o

And in place of 'compile' and 'link' it could call your compiler or 
linker, sending the outuput to foo.log and printing "Compiling ..." 
or "Linking ..." to stdout.
