Thanks. I did not know about the -### option.

I'm checking out the new devel/flang port (a Fortran front-end
for clang). Although flang recognizes the .F90 extension,
'flang -c boxmuller.F90' dies a horrible death because it assumes
a modern cpp syntax. AFAIK, the traditional syntax that gcc
uses with the -traditional-cpp option is required by those who
use C preprocessing directives in their Fortran. Modern cpp
can corrupt valid Fortran. Having clang invoke gcc when I tried
cpp caught me off guard.
