[gentoo-user] How do I turn off ansi (colour) codes in GCC 6.3.0 ?

[Walter Dnes]

Splitting away from the main GCC 6.3.0 thread, because this is a
tangential issue.  The GCC 6.3.0 build output is cutsie/wootsie with
lots of colour... "because teh shiney".  Unfortunately, it absolutely
sucks for reading build logs giving stuff like...

  I tried "emerge --color=n icewm", but that doesn't help.  Any ideas?
