   libgfortran is linked to user code.  Quite possible that it   
   can be compiled with different options than user code, but   
   currently it uses default options which are right for legacy   
   code.   
      
   libgcc uses '--pointer-size=64' to build.  I need to investigate   
   which options are good for libgfortran, but it needs to be build   
   in a way which is compatible with user code.
