Just to let you all know the state of progress with the -fwhole-file work:

(i) I think that I have fixes for all the problems here up to and including
comment #17.
(ii) I have now added code to incorporate modules into the scheme.
(iii) If a patch that includes (i) and (ii) is made default, I see 168
regressions.  Many are correct failures or legacy issues (eg hollerith to
integer), and one or two ICEs have already been fixed. However, there are some
problems involving ICEs dues to different backend_decls being used for derived
types that are identical and one or two runtime failures that come in at )1 or
O2.

I cannot pick this up again until next week but I am going at it as fast as
possible.

Paul
