This may or may not be a solution, depending on the politics of your
organization (If I remember the original post correctly, it indicated
that there were poliitcal reasons for wanting to stay with Fortra(n/sh)..),
but, there is a port of f2c available with the DJGPP package now.

You could compile your Fortran by running it through f2c, then compiling
with GCC (DJGPP).  Supposedly, the translator (& the generated code) are
very good.   (I don't know - I am just repeating what I've heard)

(I've used DJGPP a lot - it is very nice)_
