alloc-1.F90 uses a proper interface (Fortran module). alloc-3.F uses a header
file with the old-style Fortran 66/77 way of just having
   external subroutine_name
or
   external function_name
   integer function_name  ! <- data type the function returns.

Thus, by this declaration the compiler does not know how the interface actually
looks like. In principle, it could (and should?!?) deduce the interface from
the first procedure call – and create the declaration from the use. However, it
doesn't do this.

My bet is that the actually used argument-passing of caller and callee differs
on PowerPC and, hence, it fails.

Solution?
* XFAIL?
* Changing the way in gfortran how the external-function declaration is
generated?
