bug#68724: eshell/make doesn't properly handle color term characters

[Patrick Poitras]

This is what happens when I file bug reports while sick. Forgot a bunch of details. My apologies.

Yeah, bug reported from emacs 30.0.50 @ 4e260bfc47e on master. Can confirm that it's now fix on latest master. 

Thanks!

Thanks for the bug report. I'm guessing you're using Emacs 30.0.50. This
is a bug, in that eshell/make should print its output to the Eshell
buffer by default (not a new compilation buffer). That's now fixed in
4834be0949e on master, so closing this issue.

However, for fixing the colors in the compilation buffer, you can also
add 'ansi-color-compilation-filter' to 'compilation-filter-hook'.
