Hi Wenguang,

You'd be surprised at how much progress gfortran has made.  They are far 
ahead of us in implementing the F2003 spec and I'd bet if they had 
access to the SPEC benchmarks would work towards getting that 
implemented.  With that in mind I still won't advocate for us to change 
to using gfortran, but I will strongly encourage more cooperation with 
them in the areas we can mutually gain.
