Ben Jann also discussed the issue here:

To save you the trouble of clicking around, he said "As far as I know 
you have to use Stata 9 to compile a function, if you want to use the 
function in Stata 9 (a Stata 9 compiled function, however, will also 
work under Stata 10). If you don't have Stata 9 then my suggestion 
would be to just include the source code in an ado-file so that it 
compiles on the fly."
