E.g. the above +patch might work on gcc-2.7.3 or gcc-2.7.4 if these were +released. On the other hand, it probably wouldn't work for +a more major release like gcc-2.8.0 or gcc-3.0.0, and you +shouldn't try it. If the .diff file is missing, don't bother +asking <fortran@gnu.ai.mit.edu> for it -- it is certainly +being worked on. In the meantime, watch our progress at +<ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/g77.plan> for information on support +for the recent versions of gcc. |
