There are lots of (GNU extensions) intrinsics that are hardcoded as returning
integer(kind=4) results, while it would make sense to have them return the
default integer type. This is hardcoded both in the front-end (see for example
gfc_resolve_getpid in iresolve.c) and the library (where the getpid function is
declared as "extern GFC_INTEGER_4 PREFIX(getpid) (void)").
