I meant *our* (i.e., HIRLAM's) problems with non-standard code.  For 
instance, where we use

       CALL FLUSH(UNIT, IOSTAT)

instead of

       CALL FLUSH(UNIT)

which gfortran supports.

And

       EXTERNAL GETARG

which seems necessary for "some" compilers, but doesn't work with 
gfortran (you'll get an "unsatisfied external reference getarg_" when 
linking).

Really, there's nothing wrong with gfortran here, just that it cannot 
support each and every variation of non-standard code that other 
compilers deal with.

Cheers,
