There's a thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] started from emacs developers wishing that
gfortran used a g77-compatible error message format, starting here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2006-10/msg00751.html The friendly discussion has
been a bit heated.
I don't think anybody disagrees with the fact that using an error format closer
to the GNU standard would be nice. They usually are reasons behind standards.
On the other hand, there is broad agreement that the "standard GNU error
format" offers very poor possibilities for the description of the error
locations, especially for multiple-loci errors.
