  Yes:

10:55 fourmond@zorglub ~/Prog/Soas/source gfortran-4.3 -c -i4 soas_misc.f
10:55 fourmond@zorglub ~/Prog/Soas/source gfortran-4.4 -c -i4 soas_misc.f
f951: error: unrecognized command line option "-i4"
10:55 fourmond@zorglub ~/Prog/Soas/source gfortran-4.5 -c -i4 soas_misc.f
f951: error: unrecognized command line option "-i4"

  Cheers,

      Vincent
