If you have a piece of advice defined with the compile keyword, you'll
get a *Compile-Log* buffer.  I have a couple loaded by my .emacs file:

(defadvice compilation-goto-locus (after highlight activate compile)
(defadvice minibuffer-complete (around cycle (&optional count) activate compile)

(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook
          (lambda ()
            (let ((compile-log-buffer (get-buffer "*Compile-Log*")))
              (when (and compile-log-buffer
                         (= (buffer-size compile-log-buffer) 0))
                (kill-buffer compile-log-buffer)))))
