I actually used a patched Magit to do this, until they added the feature
(or I submitted it, dunno).

Actually, as it is common to have multi-level source trees and the build
can be invoked from anywhere, the feature needs a method to determine
the root directory. Assuming that the interesting buffers are on the
current directory or its descendants is ok for rgrep, but not for
compile.
