i am curious.  are you encountering problems compiling
code on a machine with limited memory ? or does
gfortran use excessive amounts of memory when
compiling  specific routines ?

in my experience, i have never seen a file of fortran
source that causes compile problems (due to memory
usage) in the last say 5 - 10 years.
