I'm surprised that no one has praised IBM yet for the facility to
create message catalogs at will. It is not hard to create a 'valspeak'
message set for the shell-of-your-choice, for example.

% how's tricks?
How's tricks?: Like that's bogus syntax, dude? Where'd you go to skule?
%

After all, the irony of IBM giving us the freedom to pick and *define*
what options we might like is fantastic.

All of this has been an interesting discussion, but it appears that
after taking the steps outlined that it is still the case that error
messages from the C compiler come out in multi-line format.

How do I make the C compile put out single line error messages that
the next-error in EMACS can grok?

I doubt very much that you can. Having worked extensively with the C compiler,
unless you make your own error message catalog, I don't believe that you
will be able to get rid of those messages.

If you do a:

dspcat /usr/lpp/msg/C/xlc*msg.cat

you'll get a feel for the various messages the C compiler can put out. It's
a LOT!
