g77 fails to compile legal code, make dvi breaks

[Joe Harrington <jh at oobleck dot tn dot cornell dot edu>]

I just installed egcs-1.0.3a from source on an i686 with binutils
2.9.1.0.4.  The g77s in 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.0.3a all fail on the
following piece of standard code.  The problem is passed
subroutine/function call arguments with a declaration like:
	
      LOGICAL FUNCTION ELEMD ( ITEM, A )
 
      INTEGER               LBCELL
      PARAMETER           ( LBCELL = -5 )

      DOUBLE PRECISION ITEM
      DOUBLE PRECISION A      ( LBCELL:* )
 
[....]

According to someone else here, it worked on a non-egcs g77 some
months ago, but I'm not sure what version.

Also, the egcs compile went smoothly except for make dvi errors.  I
reported these for egcs 1.0.1 as well:

make dvi
(16 returns required to keep TeX running, three times)
texi2dvi -I../../gcc/f ../../gcc/f/g77.texi -o f/g77.dvi
texi2dvi: Unknown or ambiguous option `-I../../gcc/f'.
texi2dvi: Try `--help' for more information.
make[1]: *** [f/g77.dvi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/local/src/egcs-1.0.3a/objdir/gcc'

This is with texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 3.12) 0.8, TeX Version 3.14159 (C
version 6.1).
