Bug description

In PR #6087 Daniel Bünzli requested the use of the more standard GNU-style error messages, which have the advantage of being recognized by tools without specific configuration -- while the error-message-regexp that Emacs uses to match OCaml error messages recently changed and could require upstream change as well.

Additional information

(Note that even if a compiler-wide switch happens, ocamlbuild will need to be changed separately as it embeds its own error-location printing routines in ocamlbuild/loc.ml)
