Closing as wontfix.
- The PR hasn't seen any activity in almost 5 years
- GFortran nowadays has ISO_C_BINDING support, making it easy to create robust
interfaces to C functionality without having to integrate it into the compiler.
- The GFortran developers have their hands full implementing support for the
Fortran standard.
- Contributing to GCC is a bit cumbersome, with all kinds of paperwork required
etc.
Thus I suggest that functionality such as proposed here is better of developed
as a separate library, e.g. on github or whatnot. The gtk-fortran project
offers an excellent example of such a project:
