Actaully, the -fdefault-real* and -fdefault-integer-* options
should be deprecated. These options are broken by design, and
probably do not do what one wants. Use the -freal-4-real-16
(and similar options).
% cat cat a.f90
program foo
real x
x = 1. / 3.
print *, x
end program foo
% gfortran6 -static -o z a.f90 && ./z

% gfortran6 -static -o z -freal-4-real-16 a.f90 && ./z
