Hi,
6 years ago, we removed the static helper library libgfortranbegin.a. Since gfortran 4.5, we don’t use it, but still provide it for backward compatibility.
I’m thinking 6 years notice is enough, and we should remove it. A search for it on github and other code repositories does not indicate any real use in existing build systems, but quite a few cases of people confused by its existence and purpose.
I’m saying we get rid of it. Attached patch bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-apple-darwin.
OK to commit?
