It generally does, which is one of the reasons I find it a rather
poor solution to the problem.

It would be nice, but I think it involves fixing all the lang.* target
hooks.  It certainly can be done, but it's not that high on my todo
list :-)  Other folks would be encouraged to do this work.

OK.  I haven't sucked any g77 stuff in recently, but I guess I should
at some point in the near future -- which will bring in this change.

Don't worry about the conflicts..  That's just part of having to do merges.
