* Automatic arrays possibly aren't working on HP-UX systems, at
least in HP-UX version 10.20. Writing into them apparently causes
0.6 should solve most or all remaining problems (such as
cross-compiling involving 64-bit machines).
- * Maintainers of `gcc' report that the back end definitely has
- "broken" support for `COMPLEX' types. Based on their input, it
- seems many of the problems affect only the more-general facilities
- for gcc's `__complex__' type, such as `__complex__ int' (where the
- real and imaginary parts are integers) that GNU Fortran does not
- use.
-
- Version 0.5.20 of `g77' works around this problem by not using the
- back end's support for `COMPLEX'. The new option
- `-fno-emulate-complex' avoids the work-around, reverting to using
- the same "broken" mechanism as that used by versions of `g77'
- prior to 0.5.20.
-
* `g77' currently inserts needless padding for things like `COMMON
A,IPAD' where `A' is `CHARACTER*1' and `IPAD' is `INTEGER(KIND=1)'
on machines like x86, because the back end insists that `IPAD' be
the mainline, development version of `g77' within `egcs') is available
at `http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/g77_news.html'.

=============================
corresponding *subsequent* function program unit disagrees with
the reference concerning the type of the function.
+ * `-fno-emulate-complex' is now the default option. This should
+ result in improved performance of code that uses the `COMPLEX'
+ data type.

* The `-malign-double' option now reliably aligns *all*
double-precision variables and arrays on Intel x86 targets.
