I turn on the TERM output. No need then to do a find -- all you get is the errors and their source context. You just work through them in sequence. Once in a while a source file is sufficiently hosed up that the TERM listing makes no sense and I have to go to the full listing.

I will say that I really like IBM's approach to generating listings and errors. I use the GCC compiler on Linux and sometimes it is a royal PITA to figure out that the <elided> the error message is talking about.
