Fortran should also have its own section in the file. Currently there are
some bug reporting instructions in the g77 Texinfo manual. Some of them
are Fortran-specific; some aren't. Those that aren't largely duplicate
the instructions that are or were in the main GCC manual - and that
(bugreport.texi) contains too much information that ought to be in
bugs.html instead (some duplicates what's there, some doesn't). (Note
that bugs.html and gnats.html are included in release tarballs, both as
HTML and plaintext - there isn't any issue here of people needing to be
online to get the information.)
In general, the existing instructions on preprocessed source only apply to
C, C++ and Objective-C (and .mi preprocessed Objective-C files aren't
actually mentioned).
Once bug reporting instructions for non-C-family languages are sorted out,
they should be added to the list in sourcebuild.texi of what's needed for
a front end added to the official GCC CVS repository.
