I’m afraid I don’t really see the point. Maybe I’ll say it differently that Steve has: what would be the state of Fortran on such platform, and would it have users? It looks that, at the very least, your target wouldn’t be able to do any I/O. Unless we have a good reason to think there will be users, because the state of support will be good, I don’t see that we should add to the library maintainance burden by special-casing targets. Also: if other targets come along that have this need, how does your strategy scale up? Thanks, FX
