My gcc (5.4) doesn't recognize it:
$ gcc -fno-color-diagnostics test.c
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option â-fno-color-diagnosticsâ
It knows about -fdiagnostics-color=never however, which clang seems to
recognize as well. It would be nice however not to restrict the
compiler version used for testing just for this. Can we write a small
proc that checks if the compiler recognizes that flag and only include
it if it does?
