At the moment I'm using Indigo, so that my answer is referred to this release of Eclipse. On options of Marker View you can change Configure Content options and create a new configuration. With this new configuration, I suggest you to change Scope to On selected element and its children. Doing so, if you click on a package or a single file (i think this is your definition of 'compilation unit'), you can filter problems using selected element. This also gives you number of problems as the filter you applied.
