The flags mentioned turned out not to make a difference.  I committed 
the patch as-is to the trunk as revision 182127.  On the 4.6 branch it 
is revision 182138.

I will now change the type of the bug report to "Enhancement" - after 
all, all of these ease-debugging flags are enhancements over standard 
compiler behavior (quality-of-implementation issue, as we call it on 
http://j3-fortran.org).

Thanks for the review.
