Intel provides a "-standard-semantics" command-line option to produce
the earlier behavior. Is there any equivalent option for GNU Fortran?
That is a misfeature of Intel Fortran - not the option, but its name.
There is nothing standard about that semantics - not even in Fortran IV.
I should have read Intel's documentation first, and apologise to Intel
for maligning them.
While that is true, that is NOT the purpose of the -standard_semantics
option, which IS appropriately named. However, it also includes some
miscellaneous options, one of which is -old_ldout_format, which is the
option that actually controls this.
