Hi,

thanks Martin for the reminder. I already uploaded the latest PMX
(2.5.10). Will contact upstream now.

Can someone with the necessary privileges on a mips{,el} development
host try to revert #322924 (by using g77 instead of gfortran in
debian/control and debian/rules), install that pmx and try to rebuild m-tx?

If this works, what should we do about this issue? g77 seems to be
obsoleted (not provided by gcc-4.x anymore) and should be completely
replaced by gfortran. However, the latter doesn't support Fortran 77
completely, yet.

Thanks,

Roland
