             Bug #: 53175
           Summary: Fortran 4.8 undefined reference to a variable in a
                    module
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: fortran
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: michael.a.richmond@nasa.gov
              Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
            Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
             Build: i686-pc-linux-gnu


This error occurs only in gnu Fortran 4.8 dated 04/08/2012 or later.

If I type "gfortran main.f90 e.f90 s.f90" I get the following error message:

/tmp/ccwf6p16.o: In function `default_settings.1813':
s.f90:(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `__energy_function_MOD_dim'
/tmp/ccwf6p16.o: In function `set_simplex_options.1815':
s.f90:(.text+0x1cd): undefined reference to `__energy_function_MOD_dim'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

If I concatenate e.f90 and s.f90 so that they are compiled as a single file,
the error goes away.

Listed below are the contents of these files:

main.f90

PROGRAM main
END PROGRAM main

e.f90
