mixing g77 code with C++ and C and ada from gcc 4.X

[bud davis]

can anyone think of any reason why it would not be possible to mix 
object created
by g77 (3.4.X) with object created by gcc 4.X ?

some work would be needed in makefiles to ensure the correct g77 runtime was
linked in.....

anything else ?

rumors of faster runtime C++ code and a desire to not touch an existing 
F77 code
base are what is driving this idea.


TIA,

p.s. there is some fundamental truth here; like C++ programs can use 
more memory and cpu
than can be purchased,  but 10 year old fortran can't be made to consume 
a noticeable amount
of memory and time.
