I should have mentioned that up front.  This f77 script is the "fc"
script which comes with f2c.  I guess my only point in sending this
along, is that a really broken f77 command can wipe out the "make
check" for autoconf.

There is none.  I checked the most recent version of "fc" from the
netlib f2c distribution and it's not there either.

This is probably not worth worrying about.
