Who creates *Compile-Log* buffer?

Who creates *Compile-Log* buffer?

[bigfaceworm]

I'm often switching to the '*compilation*' buffer, and
the '*Compile-Log*' buffer gets in the way of TAB completion.
The log buffer is always empty (when I check) and I am usually
just editing/compiling C/C++ files, and reading mail with
Gnus.

I'd like to rename (permanently) the *Compile-Log* buffer to
something else, or kill it (permanently).  Any help?

ps. I'd rather not use iswitchb or the other buffer switching
packages, I'm pretty happy with 'C-x b'

If you have a piece of advice defined with the compile keyword, you'll
get a *Compile-Log* buffer.  I have a couple loaded by my .emacs file:

(defadvice compilation-goto-locus (after highlight activate compile)
(defadvice minibuffer-complete (around cycle (&optional count) activate compile)

(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (let ((compile-log-buffer (get-buffer "*Compile-Log*")))
	      (when (and compile-log-buffer
			 (= (buffer-size compile-log-buffer) 0))
		(kill-buffer compile-log-buffer)))))

Only because you have set completion-ignore-case.

The buffer comes from bytecomp.el.  Its name is not configurable.
