Not really for building code, at least. It's a common problem, but it's not insurmountable. Use the equivalent of 'make -j1' or whatever...
This requires engineering on the part of compiler writers, but ultimately is solvable, given enough funding.
(About the compiler writers part: I'm thinking about GHC Haskell and the like... the Clangs/GCCs of the world will have no problems because of Translation Units. Things may change when Modules are a practical choice.)
