Hi Paul,

we are both struggling to fix this, I guess :)

Certainly! I can post the current patch to the mailing list for review, and I
would greatly appreciate if Mikael could have a closer look at the infinite
recursion in gfc_get_function_type ...

One of the open questions is of course how to handle the MOD_VERSION issue
(i.e. should this be bumped for 4.8?). If not, we should fix the docu on the
wiki!

Unfortunately the patch is a bit intrusive, but it does fix a regression after
all ...
