subroutine foo(c)
  character*(*) c
  namelist /abc/ c
end subroutine

is accepted by gfortran. Other compilers give the correct error:

fortcom: Error: aaa.f, line 3: A namelist-group-object must not be a variable
with assumed character length (R544.1).   [ERRMSG]

Error: bbb.f90, line 4: Namelist-group-object C has assumed character length

Error: Variable 'c' at (1) cannot have a variable length and be in a NAMELIST

ERROR: "C" has the CHARACTER*(*) attribute, therefore it must not be declared
as a namelist-group-object.
