This is probably the right thing to do. Note, it will effectively mean that any fortran users on BE systems will no longer be able to use KIND=16. It will also be a compatibility issue if users have code compiled on a LE system with GCC 11 and earlier with KIND=16, it will not link with GCC 12. -- Michael Meissner, IBM PO Box 98, Ayer, Massachusetts, USA, 01432 email: meiss...@linux.ibm.com
