I'm happy for there to be a single record marker format on the condition
that it's Intel's. As the previous poster mentioned, gfortran's 64-bit
marker isn't just incompatible with Intel, it's incompatible with pretty
much every other Fortran compiler on the planet.
And currently there exists no method at all for making it properly
compatible with *any* of them.
