There is a proprietary s/ware product called flint which provides
ANSI standard (and many other portability and stylistic) warnings,
complexity measures, call trees, basic block coverage etc.

It is very fast and available on a lot of machines.

There is a Toolpack utility for standard checking which consists
of a sequence of tools - a lexer, a parser, a semantic checker and
a inter-program unit checker. The problem with it is that if one
of first tools fails (e.g., you have VAX extensions in your source)
then you can't go any further down the chain.

FORCHK (available form Leiden University) is a Fortran 77 version
of the old PFORT -- i.e., it does ANSI Fortran 77 standard checking.
We have a copy of this but I haven't had time to really pound it.
First impressions are good though.
