You mean in Emacs-21, right?  compile.el hasn't been changed much in
Emacs-23, IIRC.

Indeed, I now see that Emacs-21's compile.el explicitly copied the
error-regexp-alist setting from the calling buffer to the
compilation buffer.  I guess it might make sense to do that as well in
the new compile.el.  Daniel, could you look into it?

IIRC you can just place the corresponding entries onto
compilation-error-regexp-alist.
