First of all, Fortran patches should go to fortran@gcc.gn.org too.

Second, we knew all along that GFortran in GCC 4.0 was experimental
and that we would almost certainly be breaking the ABI.  What you
are trying to do is just a "don't do that" kind of thing.  I do not
consider this ABI breakage to be a bug.
