I'd agree with you, but I have two remarks:
   1. what is the effect of the libgfortran ABI change involved in  
terms of performance?
   2. I 'm not sure we can port that change in 4.2 (if the problem  
exists there, that is)

Of course.

Same thing here. Looks like we are converging on something. Any other  
opinions before we file a PR with a sum-up of the discussion?
