Do I misunderstand what `static store' is? We can already
-malign-double happily for Fortran to get static data (is that the
right term?) aligned properly, e.g. in COMMON. However, stack
allocation (arrays or not) may still be a killer, as with the code
where the problem was discovered originally. I understood the stack
problem was sorted, modulo appropriate crt, by a Schmidt/Lehmann
patch, waiting on paperwork from Lehmann which seems never to have
turned up according to copyright.list.
I wish I understood all this :-(.
