Actually I have a file that contains a lot of functions, call this
file global.c.
Next I have multiple files, call them f1.c, f2.c, ...

And each f*.c has to be compiled with global.c.
Obviously I can do gcc f1.c global.c -o f1 for each file, but I think
that it'll be faster to first make the .o, and next to do gcc f1.c
global.o -o f1.

Am I wrong ? If the first solution is good that's cool for me, but I
thought that was not very proper.
