Bug#582085: gfortran-4.4 regression: the -i4 option is not supported anymore

[Vincent Fourmond <fourmond@debian.org>]

Package: gfortran-4.4
Version: 4.4.4-1
Severity: normal

  Hello,

  gfortran-4.4 does not support anymore the -i4 option, while
gfortran-4.3 does. This is necessary for me to compile gildas (see
http://www.iram.fr/~gildas/dist/index.html).

  Is there any specific reason why support for this flag was dropped from 4.4 ?

  Cheers,

      Vincent
