Package: gfortran-4.4
Version: 4.4.4-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

gfortran-4.4 does not support anymore the -i4 option, while
gfortran-4.3 does. This is necessary for me to compile gildas (see
http://www.iram.fr/~gildas/dist/index.html).

Is there any specific reason why support for this flag was dropped from 4.4 ?

Cheers,

Vincent

Yes:

10:55 fourmond@zorglub ~/Prog/Soas/source gfortran-4.4 -c -i4 soas_misc.f
f951: error: unrecognized command line option "-i4"
10:55 fourmond@zorglub ~/Prog/Soas/source gfortran-4.5 -c -i4 soas_misc.f
f951: error: unrecognized command line option "-i4"

Cheers,

(although it seems it isn't the reason why my crash happened in the first place)
