I would appreciate if runtimes like libg2c0 are left, if possible. I have a
bunch of ancient fortran programs that are too noisy when compiled with
gfortran and even trigger errors that were not present with g77.

I admit I should carefully look at those programs and fix things in my
whole toolchain (programs and libs), but that is not something I will do
in the short term, because of time constraints. I guess the same thing may
be true for more people.

Cheers,
