I'm not sure what you're suggesting here.
We already have -std=f95, which should disable all nonstandard extensions.

As for the specific example "external getarg", It's not possible to supply a 
single implementation. This worked in g77 because there was only one default 
integer kind. In g95 The user can change the default integer kind, so putting 
"subroutine getarg" in libgfortran is not an option.

One solution may be to add [annother] option to gfortran which says ignore 
"external foo" if foo is an intrinsic function. This will obviously break 
some code, but hopefully a different subset of code than is affected by the 
external getarg problem :-)
