I agree with the original bug reporter. My use case is I have some large legacy fortran code which works fine under g77, but which gives bad numerical results under gfortran. To debug the issues I have to compare the two results in detail, and I cannot do that now that the gcc packagers have decided to remove g77 from gcc-3.4. gcc-3.4 is after all a legacy package which presumably still exists in Debian to help deal with such legacy code conversion issues for _all_ language components of gcc, and removing g77 from gcc-3.4 subverted that purpose for the Fortran language component.
Anyhow, please reverse this arbitrary decision and put g77 back into the gcc-3.4 source package until you decide to drop gcc-3.4 legacy support altogether. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
