	Maybe more likely a de-centralization that is causing 
this...ie. distribution mixing...

	So, even though libbfd has gcc-f77, it may not work at all with 
gcc-Mingw.  I am inclined to attribute this (possibility) to the 
fact that there is no specific distribution primarily oriented 
around f77 compilations using Mingw version of gcc-f77.

	I do know that the compiler (fortran) has entirely different 
requirements than does the mingw compiler (gcc/g++).

	Chances are good that the libbfd distribution works just fine 
with Mingw, but is incompatible with F77 compile/linking.

	Again, this is largely deduction and speculation.  However, 
indicators do point to this sort of situation as the root cause 
of the problem with libbfd _not_ working with fortran compiles.

	Peace,

Nothing real can be threatened.
    Nothing unreal exists.
