I'll be happy to elaborate, but I'm not sure at which level you'd like me
to explain?

This is basically the very same thing that's being done for other 'struct
symbol_attribute' flag fields, by interpreting the 'enum
oacc_routine_lop' values as individual flags, and with the corollary (to
maintain MOD_VERSION compatibility as best as we can) that we don't
stream out its default value (so doing correspondingly to when a "real"
flag's value is 'false').

I had mentioned that in the commit message: with the relevant old/new GCC
combinations, using the included test case.

Happy to explain further, if necessary.
