This reverts commit 27b27013.

Add a compiler coloring tool to highlight warning and errors in the output

This gives warnings about -j1 being forced some places, but
it still successfully builds all archvies in parallel. The
resulting archives have been tested on the board. It is
disabled by default so no functional change unless someone
adds J="" or J=8 in front of the make archvies.

This is prep for verifying calibration parameters against the hardware they were gathered on.
