Thanks for your advice.

I've got this fixed, your test code now compiles to 428 bytes. It's a
very osx-specific deal...

g95 sets DECL_COMMON on these variable decls (only for Darwin
targets). This seems like a hack to me (see below). The problem is
darwin-specific, not related to the front-end. On darwin:
$ cat a.c int x[999] = { 0 }; $ gcc -c a.c && ls -lh a.o -rw-r--
r-- 1 fx wheel 38M May 12 13:43 a.o $
Hi Alison,
This issue is not specific to Fortran, but it's specific to Darwin
(you say that "the large object files have been observed on many other
platforms", but could you give a list of such platforms?):
$ cat a.c
int x[999] = { 0 };
$ gcc -c a.c && ls -lh a.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 fx whee
