Yes, this particular convention was set up for the benefit of other
Fortran compilers.  Craig Burley keeps saying that g77's debug info
generation needs a bunch of work, and not to worry about what GDB
makes of it yet.  So if this is important to you, you might want to
consider delving into g77 a bit.
