I should have thought there would be an option for this; this solves the
problem. Thank you.

I have encountered at least two compilers which display character
positions instead of screen columns: gcc, and the ocaml compiler (the
latter also needs compilation-first-column to be set to 0). Given that
GCC is widely used and now display character positions of errors,
shouldn't the default value for compilation-error-screen-columns change?
Or maybe these parameters should be detected according to the mode of
the file in which there is an error?

Best regards,
Matthieu Lemerre
