I use 'compile'; it is bound to F5. I did not know about 'recompile'
until this discussion; reading the help now, I don't actually know
what it does, but I'm not going to worry about it :)

Doesn't each programming language mode bind 'compile' to something?
Ada mode binds it to C-c C-c.

And 'next-error' must be bound as well.

I don't use the language mode bindings, because I _always_ use a
makefile. But that's a personal choice.
