I didn't realise Yidong had replied.  Unsurprisingly our regexps are different
but I don't know which is best.

My patch was against current CVS.  In the progmodes directory of compile.el,
after making a backup, you can cut and paste the patch for compile.el into
a file called compile.diff, then do:

patch < compile.diff

As you have Emacs 22.1, it might apply with an offset.  If it won't apply at
all then you will have to do it manually: look for the sun-ada entry in
compile.el and add the lines beginning with +, then remove those pluses and
byte compile the file (on the menu-bar).  You will probably have to start Emacs
again to see any effect.

Alternatively you can checkout Emacs from the CVS repository which would mean
that you would pick up bug fixes automatically (and could post the latest bug
reports!).
