Please, take those complaints from others seriously. There are plenty of tools that help people (including myself) to deal with compiler errors more easily, and they're not limited to emacs either. For most purposes, having at least _one_ line in the standard 'filename:linenumber:[column:] {error,warning,...}:' format is sufficient for compatibility. You have such a line already; just remove the '-->', add the 'error:' or whatever back in, and you should be good to go without sacrificing any of the (very welcome!) improvements from this change.
