Please do not install that change. I suspect it is not correct. compile.el uses Font Lock to set up the properties that enable next-error to work. It appears to me that if it doesn't turn on Font Lock mode, then next-error won't work. I could be mistaken, but if you think I am, let's check that before installing such a change. I wish the mechanisms and the code for this were better documented. Is there someone who understands it who would like to write an overall explanation in comments in compile.el.
