Yes, that was my main question too. Note that I am NOT the author or
maintainer of this package. I've just been tasked with converting it to use
gfortran.

I've checked the makefile and the log, the actual command was as stated:
gfortran -g -O2 -c fortestF.f
Attempting to build the original package on my x86 system it does:
g77 -g -O2 -c fortestF.f
which builds ok.
So it would appear that the Debian version of g77 does not have the 72 char
limit.

Colin
