           Summary: libgfortran symbol version node bumped unnecessarily
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libfortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: jb@gcc.gnu.org


As pointed out by Janus Weil at

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2011-02/msg00298.html

in 4.5 we have symbol version 1.2. The new symbols for 4.6 should thus be in
version node 1.3. However, for some reason 4.6 has added both 1.3 and 1.4,
which is unnecessary. We should remove the 1.4 node and merge the symbols into
the 1.3 node.

OTOH this change would mean that people would need to recompile code compiled
with the pre-release 4.6.
