I'm not sure specifically about equivalence with g77, but Fortran
which depends on storage association which forces double precision
variables to be misaligned is inherently non-portable (even if
standard-conforming). For instance, g77 on SPARC (like other
compilers and other systems) pads common blocks if necessary, the same
as you get with -malign-double on x86; the canonical 20-year-old code
breaks. Compilers do warn you, though many users choose to disbelieve
them...
