(Side note: NEW_LINE is not an elemental function. It can be used with an array
argument, but it's different from being elemental.)

As for the bug itself, there's no reason that the argument to NEW_LINE should
be constant: the only requirement is that it's of character kind (all that is
used in NEW_LINE is the character kind, which is always known at compile-time).
So, the following patch fixes it, and I believe it does the right thing:

-  if (e->expr_type != EXPR_CONSTANT)
-    return NULL;
-
   result = gfc_constant_result (BT_CHARACTER, e->ts.kind, &e->where);
-
   result->value.character.string = gfc_getmem (2);
-
   result->value.character.length = 1;
   result->value.character.string[0] = '\n';
   result->value.character.string[1] = '\0';     /* For debugger */


This patch is donated to whomever has time to confirm that it does what it
should, that it conforms to the standard and that it regtests. (I'll take care
of it next week if noone has time before then.) The following testcase now
passes:

$ cat a.f90 
  character(len=10) :: a1
  character(len=10) :: a2(2)
  character(len=10), parameter :: a3 = "1234567890"
  character(len=10), parameter :: a4(2) = "1234567890"
  character(len=10), parameter :: a5(2) = repeat("1234567890",2)

  print *, ichar(new_line(a1))
  print *, ichar(new_line(a2))
  print *, ichar(new_line(a3))
  print *, ichar(new_line(a4))
  print *, ichar(new_line(a5))
  end
$ gfortran a.f90 && ./a.out
          10
          10
          10
          10
          10
