Using M-x recompile after the first M-x compile may solve your problem.  M-x
recompile remembers the last compile-command and default-directory.

I frequently work like this:

  - switch to Makefile directory
  - M-x compile RET
  - begin edit-recompile-cycle loop:
    * edit
    * M-x recompile RET
    * goto edit-recompile-cycle
