Re: 2.1.69 and gcc 4.0

[Paul Thomas]

Quentin,

It is a long time since I tried a gcc-4.0 build and did not, in fact, get as 
far as you have.  One thing that hit right away was that gfortran failed to 
do a clean job.  Some of the fortran had to be modified to compile 
correctly.  I have been keeping an eye on the various bugs that I found and, 
I am pleased to report, the last one was just fixed in cvs, aka 4.1; this 
was associated with multiple entries.  Subroutines were fixed a while back 
and functions have just been done.  The links to the libraries might have to 
be modified because there were, at least, name clashes between libgcc(I seem 
to recall)  and libgfortran.

Anyway, if you are having to use 3.4 include files, then either a bug in 3.4 
has been fixed or you are exposing a nasty in 4.0.  If the latter, please 
try to isolate the cause and issue a problem report to gcc bugzilla.

Best regards

Paul Thomas
