OK.

Hum... Don't hurt me, I'm a mere chemist! :)

I'll look into it, and post an updated patch. Until then, though:

Hum, they're static buffers actually, so I don't think I can do that,  
unfortunately :(

typedef struct gfc_common_head
{
   locus where;
   char use_assoc, saved, threadprivate;
   char name[GFC_MAX_SYMBOL_LEN + 1];
   struct gfc_symbol *head;
   char binding_label[GFC_MAX_BINDING_LABEL_LEN + 1];
   int is_bind_c;
}
gfc_common_head;
