No.  I seem to recollect that at some point (certainly before 24.x
development, maybe even before 23) I could fix a compilation error in
a C file by adding/removing lines, and subsequent errors would still
be found correctly, without any line offset.  Maybe it depends on
actual error source, i.e. gcc vs. grep?  Then again, maybe I invented
this whole story and my memory is failing...

In the latter case, can this be requalified as a feature request?
