30 Do be careful with that - this from Donnie Berkholz' blog:

34 "The entrance of GCC 4.1 into testing has made a lot possible, but also
35 requires a lot of fixing. This is particularly the case in scientific
36 computing, where there's an entirely new Fortran compiler -- gfortran.
37 Please note that gfortran is NOT a renamed g77. It accepts different
38 options, and it compiles different code. Only gfortran will compile
39 Fortran90 and Fortran95 code. Only g77 will accept common options such
40 as -fno-globals. Do not assume they are the same."
