Fortran Bug Fix Plan for 3.3.

[Toon Moene <toon at moene dot indiv dot nluug dot nl>]

There are 14 non-closed bug reports for Fortran in GNATS (none for 
libf2c), of which four are `suspended' and won't be fixed.

Here's how I plan to deal with them:

7681 ICE in compensate_edge, at reg-stack.c:2591

	Most certainly a backend issue (and for ix86 at that).
	Should I move it to `target' ?

7530 fortran statement works in 2.9.3 but not in 3.1.

	I've set this one to `feedback' as it doesn't include
	a self-contained test-case.  I'll close it when it
	becomes 2 months old.

7488 wrong line numbers after INCLUDE (resubmission).

	A genuine frontend bug that I'll fix.

7388 Incorrect output with 0 based array of characters.

	At first I thought this to be a bug resulting from the new code
	to allow string(1:0) to pass array bound checking (new with
	3.1), but it seems that the test case doesn't always fail (for
	instance on sparc64) - so it could be a middle end issue.

7278 g77 "bug"; the executable misbehave.

	The test case produces bogus output when compiled with -O2
	-fno-automatic.  I presume this is fixed by recent work from
	Jan Hubicka fixing SPECfp2000's sixtrack, but I cannot check
	this; I've put the bug report in `feedback' several weeks ago
	but haven't got a reply yet.

7179 No error on DIMENSION A(250 000, 250 000) on 32-bit target.

	Such an array is far too large to address on a 32-bit target
	and should have been rejected by the frontend; will fix.

6742 Generation of C++ prototype for FORTRAN and extern "C".

	Probably a documentation bug - either the documentation is
	wrong, or it is too vague; will fix.

6545 GOT page/offset relocation out of range building LAPACK.

	A problem on MIPS; rth says he can't reproduce - waiting for
	feedback from David Billinghurst.

5900 Lapack regressions for g77 3.1

	No current plan.

1832 list directed i/o overflow hangs, -fbounds-check doesn't
     detect.

	Known to be wrong, impossible to fix without changing run time
	library API.
