System: NetBSD cowboy-burt 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (COWBOY-BURT) #1: Sat Oct 2 21:08:08 EDT 1999 dan@cowboy-burt:/amd/dinah-moe/export/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/COWBOY-BURT sparc


>Description:
fortran compiler on NetBSD-1.4.1/pmax is totally broken.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

try to compile _any_ fortran program and watch it fail miserably.  For
example, 'hello.f' has:

      PROGRAM hello
      print*, 'hello world'
      END


Then I see the following:

dan@sy-borg 103 % uname -srm
NetBSD 1.4.1 pmax
dan@sy-borg 104 % f77 -c hello.f
dan@sy-borg 105 % f77 -o hello hello.o
/usr/lib/libg2c.so: warning: tempnam() possibly used unsafely, use mkstemp() or mkdtemp()
/usr/bin/ld: hello.o: linking PIC files with non-PIC files
Bad value: failed to merge target specific data of file hello.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dan@sy-borg 106 % f77 -fPIC -c hello.f
/tmp/ccyJbK8i.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccyJbK8i.s:40: Warning: No .cprestore pseudo-op used in PIC code

dan@sy-borg 108 % ./hello 
Bus error (core dumped)


It should do:

dan@cowboy-burt 121 % uname -srm
NetBSD 1.4.1 sparc
dan@cowboy-burt 122 % f77 -c hello.f
dan@cowboy-burt 123 % f77 -o hello hello.o
dan@cowboy-burt 124 % ./hello
 hello world
dan@cowboy-burt 125 % f77 -fPIC -c hello.f
dan@cowboy-burt 126 % f77 -o hello hello.o
dan@cowboy-burt 127 % ./hello
 hello world
dan@cowboy-burt 128 % f2c-f77 -c hello.f
hello.f:
   MAIN hello:
dan@cowboy-burt 129 % f2c-f77 -o hello hello.o
dan@cowboy-burt 130 % ./hello
 hello world



	
>Fix:

workaround is to use the script f2c-f77 which is part of the package system
in lang/f2c as the fortran compiler.

no fix that I know.
