This compiler's tame current work generates complaint (8)
I believe the answer is:
impetigo
'complaint' is the definition.
(impetigo is a kind of disease)
'this compiler's tame current work' is the wordplay.
'this compiler's' becomes 'im' (I've seen this in other clues).
'tame' becomes 'pet'.
'current' becomes 'i' (symbol for electric current).
'work' becomes 'go' ('go' can be a synonym of 'work').
'im'+'pet'+'i'+'go'='IMPETIGO'
'generates' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for impetigo that I've seen before include "Contagious skin disease with crusty spots" , "complaint" , "Contagious skin infection common in children" , "Contagious skin disease causing spots and yellow crusts" , "Contagious skin disease with spots forming yellow crusts" .)
