How about a progress bar in the status bar (like some Web browsers used
to have, and Thunderbird still does), accept that it will be
non-monotonic and not an accurate wall-clock-time % for some compilation
tasks, and overlay it with some simple metric like "Compiled 8 / 12
files..."?
If you can find a way to also visually fit in the filename(s) of the
file(s) most immediately being compiled on the cores at that moment
(some of the leaves in the tree of not-yet-finished-compiled
dependencies), that might also be helpful.
More information, like what's being compiled, could be sent as `debug`
to the logger, or maybe as `info` for whatever the compiler's logger.
A transient popup/dialog window, rather than status bar, might also
work, but DrRacket is nicely tile-ly, and a transient frame for this
little status indicator might not be the best UI. (An app startup
splash screen is different.)
