| I am sorry -- I thought it was a known problem:
| 
| 
| gfortran -c -fPIC -O2 -mcpu=athlon-mp -mtune=athlon-mp -pipe -mieee-fp qrgnin.f -o pic/qrgnin.o
|   In file qrgnin.f:48
| 
|        END
|                                                                         1
|   Internal Error at (1):
|   TODO: Functions with alternate entry points
| make: *** [pic/qrgnin.o] Error 1

OK, I see a way to avoid this limitation in gfortran using standard
f77, but does anyone know if this TODO is expected to be done before
GCC 4.0 is officially released?

Thanks,
