Problems with compile-mode

[Oscar Fuentes]

Symptoms:

The *compilation* buffer shows compiler messages before the initial
informative text, like this:

g++ -c -Wall -mthreads -g -O0  -It:/include -DLP0_STATIC_LIB -MMD -MF 
build/mingw/debug/.deps/main.d -o build/mingw/debug/main.o 
build/mingw/debug/../../../main.cpp
In file included from api.h:5,
                 from main.cpp:3:
tipo.h: In constructor `lp0::Tipo::Tipo(lp0::Symbol*)':
tipo.h:65: error: `x' undeclared (first use this function)
tipo.h:65: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each 
   function it appears in.)
make: *** [build/mingw/debug/main.o] Error 1
cd t:\lp0\      # -*-compilation-*-
Entering directory `t:\lp0\'
make MINGW=1

Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Wed May 05 06:39:35


At the beginning of compile-internal, I see this comment:

;; This is a rough emulation of the old hack, until the transition to new
;; compile is complete.

Are you interested on bugs like the above, then?

As a separate matter, error messages issued by EDG C/C++ compilers are
no longer recognised. Is this a bug or previous versions recognized
them by accident? Do I need to add a regexp to
compilation-error-regexp-alist-alist ?
