Although it's not great behaviour, there isn't anything to be  
concerned about - in fact, g77 should just complain you didn't  
specify any input files, instead of trying to link a non-existing  
program with the starting routine in the runtime library (the  
..../libF77/main.c above).

Are you sure you're not running out of disk space on the /tmp partition ?

HTH,
