Sorry, WONTFIX is not acceptable for a bug that was not present in 3.3.3 and is
present in 3.3.4.  This is an ICE-on-valid-code regression that affects two
rather simple cases already in our testsuite.  The apparent effect would be that
Alpha users would have to avoid the use of complex numbers in Fortran programs.
 To be fair, I can't assess what proportion of programs would be affected.

WONTFIX is basically saying "Alpha Fortran users should consider 3.3.4 unusable".

I appreciate that the fix that you were considering would require an ABI change
and therefore can't be backported.  But this bug was not present before, so it
should be possible to fix it in another way.  Even if this means re-breaking
other bug fixes.
