I suspect that this depends on how well the compiler is on recovering from
the first error. At present, I just fix the first and recompile, too.
But the main reason for this is that 90% (or more) of the following errors
are knock-ons. I would far prefer fixing all of the errors at once, given
a compiler that recovered sensibly.
