Well *I* get 8! Try M-x wha<RET>l<RET>
Can anyone beat that!
As has been pointed out (back to serious discussion), once you get
used to it & use Emacs' compile/grep etc interfaces, you will see why
line numbers are relatively hard to get at; they're not normally
necessary - they're something you can forget all about. No more
"Error x at line y"!!! I do remember when I first used Emacs how I
could get at my beloved line numbers, but now I needn't care...
Si.
