The following perhaps:

    compilation-transform-file-match-alist is a variable defined in `compile.el'.

    Its value is (("/bin/[a-z]*sh\\'" nil))

    Alist of regexp/replacements to alter file names in compilation errors.
    If the replacement is nil, the file will not be considered an
    error after all.  If not nil, it should be a regexp replacement
    string.
