I'd argue that test suites that fail because of NO_COLOR are broken.
IIUC, these failures will show up for users who set NO_COLOR=1 in their
make.conf or in the environment?

Will this still guarantee that NO_COLOR=1 from the environment is always
passed on to the build system?

Otherwise, it would break ebuild-mode in some configurations.
