It might be considered a backend issue, but in general it is a binutils (so OP is in the wrong list!).
I beg to disagree with the "in general it is a binutils issue" part. One of the posters explained why the information needed for name decoration can't be determined at link-time (nor at assembly-time, from what I understood). I think it's completely a compiler issue: if there's a switch (-mrtd) to change the calling convention of the generated code, there should probably be another one to also change the naming convention accordingly. On a related note, I found in gcc/config/i386/i386.c the following comment: "The attribute stdcall is equivalent to RTD on a per module basis." I think it's not true wrt to naming convention. I otherwise perfectly agree with you about not adding yet another extension to the Fortran front-end. FX
