Yes, but do you do this? If not, it's easier to just set the errorformat for 
the current compiler.

It is possible. However, the FIRST match for the line in the errorformat is 
always used. So if your javac errorformat contains patterns that also match 
lines from clang, and they come before clang in your errorformat, then they 
will be used instead and could be wrong.

Probably at the very least, you'll need to interleave errorformats from the two 
compilers to prevent more generic patterns from one from overriding more 
specific patterns from the other. But in some cases you may not be able to 
reconcile the two.
