Can anyone see if the problem in PR 8574 (fortran compiler is totally
broken) still exists in pmax-current?

I'd hate to see 1.5 ship with it still broken.  Unfortunately I don't have
the compiler experience to fix it.

The problem is:

cat hello.f:

      PROGRAM hello
      print*, 'hello world'
      END

f77 -o hello hello.f


/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
