But does it work?  

program y
   integer i
   integer(8) j
   print *, bit_size(i)
   print *, bit_size(j)
end program y


troutmask:sgk[244] gfortran -static -o y y.f90
troutmask:sgk[245] y
          32
          64
troutmask:sgk[246] gfortran -static -o y -i8 y.f90
troutmask:sgk[247] y
          32
          64

Should the second invocation of gfortran cause I to be promoted
to integer(kind=2)?  Thus, the 32 should have been 64.
