It depends. The compilers are doing more and more work these 
days. Initially, DMD could not build libraries, now it can. DMD 
does not output assembly files and runs an assembler to produce 
object files, some compilers do. Clang can do this but is moving 
the same direction as DMD: having the complier do it. It think 
they're looking into having the compiler do the linking as well.

So what's expected is subjective.
