No, I had been using CMake-2.8.5 for quite some time.

To get started with the analysis of this problem, my first step was
to use the version of gfortran that comes with MinGW 2010. As I recently
installed versions 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, I had a hunch that might be the
cause. The installation of MinGW 2010 on my PC comes with gfortran 4.5.

Running CMake and make with that version of gfortran built all examples
smoothly (well, there were some enigmatic warnings about the COMMON
blocks, but they were accompanied with a reassuring message that the
fix should in general work) and the programs were nicely built.

My conclusion right now is that gfortran 4.6.x is causing the trouble.
We do not need anything more than the -Wl,--allow-multiple-define option
by the way, so if all else fails, we can greatly simplify these extra
files.

I am going to try and find out why these gfortran routines are
incorporated in the DLL and if there is a way to prevent that.

Regards,

Arjen
