There's probably a simple solution, but if you don't find one: 

You could make it display as a special-display buffer with its own display
function that either doesn't display it or displays it in an invisible frame or
something.

(add-to-list
  'special-display-buffer-names
  (list "*compilation*" 'my-display-fn))

(defun my-display-fn (buf &optional args)...)
