Note that `shell' already supports pcomplete, which extends to
`compile' (and `shell-command', etc.) AFAICT. Try typing:
M-x compile RET make SPC TAB
and enjoy...
I'm also not exactly sure how integrating bash completion with Emacs
would work. Bash completion consists of a number of highly
bash-specific scripts. It would take significant effort to write an
Emacs parser for them.
It seems like a better idea for people to spend time on making pcomplete
extensions for more commands. But that would be outside the scope of
this feature request, I think.
I'm therefore closing this bug report.
