No `gnus-compile' here:

grep 'gnus-compile' .gnus <RET>
<nothing>

Hasn't been recreated either.  

What does that chunk of code do anyway?

Excised from .newsrc.eld (wrapped for mail):

(setq gnus-format-specs '((version . "21.0.104.1") (summary-dummy "
%(: :%) %S\n" (progn (insert " ") (gnus-put-text-property (point)
(progn (insert ": :") (point)) gnus-mouse-face-prop gnus-mouse-face)
(insert " " gnus-tmp-subject "\n"))) (summary-mode "Gnus: %g [%A] %Z"
(concat (format "Gnus: %s [%d] %s" (gnus-short-group-name
gnus-tmp-group-name) gnus-tmp-article-number
gnus-tmp-unread-and-unselected))) (summary "%2t%U%R%7d%z%I%(%[%4L:
%-20,20f%]%) %s\n" (progn (insert (format "%2d%c%c%7s%c%s"
(gnus-summary-number-of-articles-in-thread (and (boundp 'thread) (car
thread)) gnus-tmp-level) gnus-tmp-unread gnus-tmp-replied (gnus-dd-mmm
(mail-header-date gnus-tmp-header)) gnus-tmp-score-char
gnus-tmp-indentation)) (gnus-put-text-property (point) (progn (insert
(format "%c%4s: %-20s%c" gnus-tmp-opening-bracket gnus-tmp-lines (let
((val (eval (gnus-summary-from-or-to-or-newsgroups gnus-tmp-header))))
(if (> (gnus-correct-length val) 20) (gnus-correct-substring val 0 20)
val)) gnus-tmp-closing-bracket)) (point)) gnus-mouse-face-prop
gnus-mouse-face) (insert " " gnus-tmp-subject-or-nil "\n")))))
