------- Comment #1 from kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-05-14 17:43 ------- I'd vote against supporting this very questionable extension. It may be better to add a section to the manual that documents this extension works with g77 and is not supported by gfortran.
I've compiled a large amount of the F77 code found on netlib with gfortran. This extension never triggered an error, so I suspect that it is very rarely used. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36234
