Bug#4384: gcc_2.7.2.1-1.deb & g77_0.5.18-2.deb incompatible

[afrb2@chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk (Alan Bain)]

I'm planning to do a new release of g77 which will include the gcc source to try
and solve this problem.  The idea was suggested to me by Joost.  The fundamental
problem is that g77 requires gcc to be g77 aware, and this changes with the versions
of gcc.  At the moment I'm not in the best position for a new release as my own 
machines are net-connected via a 1200 baud modem.  When term recommences I'll
certainly do a new release.  Alternatively I could fix the source (on my SGI box),
if someone else had the time (and disk space!) to do a recompile.
