No, please really remove them, I find them really annoying (and I think I argued against it at some point during ISO_C_BINDING merge!). They warn you not about something that is wrong, but something that is unportable and could be wrong, but probably is OK in most cases. It can have value, but not as a default warning I think. I don't think I can approve patches given that I'm not following gfortran development very closely, but if I could I would approve it, it seems OK :) FX
