First, the correction. fortran@gcc.gnu.org is concerned with
the development of gfortran, which is the Fortran 95 compiler
included with GCC. g95 is Andy Vaught's project from which
gfortran has descended.
LOC has not been implemented, yet. Those of us who are contributing
to gfortran development hope to provide a high level of backwards
compatibility with g77, so LOC may be implemented in future. One
way to guarantee that LOC is implemented is to contribute to the
project via a code contribution (hint, too much to implement, too
few contributing :-).
