- Test `test_stdio.sh` fails on FreeBSD, because FreeBSD does handle the above
correctly (no inlining), but the test is designed for GNU/Linux.
- 'COLORED_STDERR_IGNORED_BINARIES' requires the `/proc` file system.

- Output of `strace` is not always colored correctly as the output from
`coloredstderr` is traced and displayed as well. Suggestions welcome.
