have you tested with -std=legacy ?

'-std=STD'
      Specify the standard to which the program is expected to conform,
      which may be one of 'f95', 'f2003', 'f2008', 'gnu', or 'legacy'.
      The default value for STD is 'gnu', which specifies a superset of
      the Fortran 95 standard that includes all of the extensions
      supported by GNU Fortran, although warnings will be given for
      obsolete extensions not recommended for use in new code.  The
      'legacy' value is equivalent but without the warnings for obsolete
      extensions, and may be useful for old non-standard programs.  The
      'f95', 'f2003' and 'f2008' values specify strict conformance to the
      Fortran 95, Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 standards, respectively;
      errors are given for all extensions beyond the relevant language
      standard, and warnings are given for the Fortran 77 features that
      are permitted but obsolescent in later standards.  '-std=f2008ts'
      allows the Fortran 2008 standard including the additions of the
      Technical Specification (TS) 29113 on Further Interoperability of
      Fortran with C.
