It isn't part of GCC.  It is part of the Mandrake (and possibly other)
packaging of GCC.  It for example is not on my Red Hat systems (both 6.1 and
6.2 beta).  As to what it used for, it makes the GCC error messages stand out
when doing a make, by printing the error messages in a different color (red I
think, possibly a different color for warnings).
