The fact that the testsuite needs adjusting like this illustrates the likelihood of breaking external tools (e.g. IDEs) that process GCC's output. This means this change to output should perhaps be off by default, with a new option to enable it people wanting this style can put in their Makefiles.

I would seriously question making something like this a gcc option. If it's off by default, very few people will use it. And those people can get the same effect by writing a small awk script.

I don't have an opinion on whether we should implement this or not, but I don't think it should be an option.
