There is a TODO item in etc/TODO:
** Display something in the margin on lines that have compilation
errors.
Flymake can use a bitmap in the *fringe* to mark lines that an
error/warning has been reported. Do we really need to display it in
the *margin*?

Fringes don't exist on TTY frames, so you'd need to use the margins at
least on those frames. Margins have another advantage: Lisp programs
can easily display stuff there, whereas to display it on the fringes,
you need to create a bitmap first. And margins have more space, if
this is important.

I see, thanks for your explanation.
