No.  Here is the status from the g77 documentation:

Use of D or d as the first character (column 1) of
a source line denotes a debug line.

In turn, a debug line is treated as either a comment line
or a normal line, depending on whether debug lines are enabled.

When treated as a comment line, a line beginning with D or
d is treated as if it the first character was C or c, respectively.
When treated as a normal line, such a line is treated as if
the first character was SPC (space).

(Currently, g77 provides no means for treating debug
lines as normal lines.)

I would suggest a little perl 1 liner stuck in your makefile that pre-chops the 'D   ' out.
