Follow-up Comment #6:

Very impressive ^^  My idea is that gcc is tampering with the terminal colors
since recent versions.

For Octave 5.1.90:


>> system ("gcc -v")
  [...]
gcc version 9.2.0 (GCC)


For Octave 5.1.90:


>> system ("gcc -v")
  [...]
gcc version 7.4.0 (GCC)


To get some sort of "normal" colors back, one can use


system ("COLOR 01")


or has to restart the Octave session.  Maybe there is a smarter command to
reset the window colors?  Please share.


To totally avoid this tampering, if I compile with


mkoctfile -fdiagnostics-color=never .......


https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-9.2.0/gcc/Diagnostic-Message-Formatting-Options.html

Then it looks pretty much "colorless" as in Octave 5.1.0.  Thus an emergency
change would be to add "-fdiagnostics-color=never" to the standard options of
mkoctfile.

Thoughts?
