colorgcc is an awesome little tool for colorizing the output of gcc and g++, making compiler errors and warnings much easier to spot.

It hasn't been updated since 1999, but it hardly seems to matter. It's written in perl and available on most (if not all) Linux distributions. In gentoo colorgcc is installed as a compiler front-end. This makes it trivially easy to use.
