------- Comment #6 from steven at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-10-26 17:46 ------- Re. comment #5, yes other library ABIs change too, but libgfortran is special in that what shipped with GCC 4.0 was highly experimental and never intended to be a stable interface. The decision at the time was that breaking it in any way we saw fit for later GCCs was OK until we have something that _is_ stable (i.e. not something we have to call stable just because it was released).
I would like to have this PR closed as WONTFIX, but I'll wait for input from other people. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24541
