I have this in my .emacs:

(defun my-compile ()
  "This command is meant to step out of the include/src directories on
compilation. Useful for compiling projects without cd-ing to the correct
Makefile path."
  (interactive)
  (let ((last-directory default-directory))
    (if (string-match "\\(\/src\/\\|\/include\/\\)$" default-directory)
        (cd (replace-regexp-in-string "\\(\/src\/\\|\/include\/\\)$" "/"
default-directory)))
    (call-interactively 'compile)
    (cd last-directory)))

(define-key c++-mode-map (kbd "<f9>") 'my-compile)

Far from perfect, but it's a start and works very well for me.

Cheers
Bastian
