I've not had the best of luck with egcs's f77.  I've had code which
compiles under both g77 and f2c-f77 crash with the g77 compiled version.
It may be the fault of the code, maybe the compiler.  I'm not a fortran
programmer, but use some fortran code (specifically, the math/scilab
package) which someone else has written.
