(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I've now added this to Emacs 29 -- a new parameter:

+If CONTINUE is non-nil, the buffer won't be emptied before
+compilation is started.  This can be useful if you wish to
+combine the output from several compilation commands in the same
+buffer.  The new output will be at the end of the buffer, and
+point is not changed.
