Put:

   (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)

in ~/.emacs

Or:

   (add-hook 'compilation-mode-hook 
             (lambda () (set-process-coding-system 'utf-8)))

if you want to use utf-8 only for compiling, but I doubt it...

That could help, but the situations are oftem more complex, you may
want to use different coding systems with different files or
processes...
