I'm confused...shouldn't it be one or the other? i.e. either make -ff2c -fsecond-underscore the default, compatible with g77, *or* make -fno-f2c -fno-second-underscore the default, incompatible with g77 but free of f2c cruft. I would vote for the former, simply because compatibility with g77 by default has huge practical advantages for library distributors that seem (to me) to outweigh the aesthetic benefits of removing f2c cruft. (Making -fno-second-underscore the default does have the non-aesthetic practical advantage of better compatibility with non-GNU compilers, but the GNU project has traditionally placed a higher priority on compatibility with free software than with non-free software.)
