Thanks, looks good! Please consider Bernhard's comments on the one
below and go ahead committing this.
It would be nice to have gcc-4.2/changes.html and gcc-4.3/changes.html in
sync (or, actually, remove it from gcc-4.3/changes.html if we now already
provide with GCC 4.2). Would you mind doing this as part of the patch you
commit?
+ with several other compilers. Older versions of gfortran used by default
+ 8-byte record markers (on most systems). In order to change length of

+ gfortran versions,
I recommend something like "By default, older versions..." or "Older
versions of gfortran used 8-byte record...by default".
"In order to change the length of".
Thanks,
Gerald
