The error message says 'r' not 'r4'. The 'r' here comes from the explicit interface for t1, which has a declaration of real*8. So, if you read the documentation that comes with your compiler, you see that 'r' has been promoted to real*16. `-fdefault-double-8' Set the `DOUBLE PRECISION' type to an 8 byte wide type. If `-fdefault-real-8' is given, `DOUBLE PRECISION' would instead be promoted to 16 bytes if possible, and `-fdefault-double-8' can be used to prevent this. You probably meant to use -freal-4-real-8. I recommend using none of these options and actually writing properly ported code.
