When using two frames in emacs, how do I prevent the compilation buffer from showing up in both?

Question

I work with two monitors, and often use emacs with two frames open; one for each monitor. each frame is split into two side-by-side windows, like so:

 a | b

(setq-default display-buffer-reuse-frames t)

From the documentation:

Non-nil means `display-buffer' should reuse frames. If the buffer in question is already displayed in a frame, raise that frame.
