egcs-1.0.2 g77 compile error

To be more specific, the number of intrinsic functions FORTRAN 77
defined for use within PARAMETER (or any other context requiring
a constant expression, such as the bounds expressions for a local
or common array) is: zero.

The standard explicitly disallows function references in such cases,
with no exemption for intrinsic functions.

To my mind, that and names greater than 6 characters are two of *the*
most important things a compiler should offer beyond strict support
for FORTRAN 77, if not *the* two.  So g77 will support intrinsics
in PARAMETER in 0.6; it already supports long names and other stuff.
