The web page says "compiled using souce code from the GNU CVS  
servers," but the precise version is not given.  There are many who  
would argue that a notice like this does not live up to the spirit of  
the GPL.

My understanding from talking to Pinski and Sen is that if you do  
what this guy apparently did (manage to compile the intel version of  
gfortran from CVS at GNU) you will get a compiler which produces  
incorrect code on output.  This may be part of the problem that Kirk  
had when using this compiler.
