IMO, this is a design flaw, which should be in your interest to be circumvented.
Also this is fortran requirement so technically it is not a design flaw in
gfortran but in the standard, I would complain to them instead of to GCC about
this. Yes we could circumvent this but that would be an extension. And who
would be using fortran for embedded targets anyways. g77 had the same issue
until at least a 3.3 (or so) was released so having it not fixed for a long time
which was about 4 releases after the first official GCC with g77 support (2.95).
