Re. comment #5, yes other library ABIs change too, but libgfortran is special
in that what shipped with GCC 4.0 was highly experimental and never intended to
be a stable interface. The decision at the time was that breaking it in any
way we saw fit for later GCCs was OK until we have something that _is_ stable
(i.e. not something we have to call stable just because it was released).
I would like to have this PR closed as WONTFIX, but I'll wait for input from
other people.
