Maybe it is a packaging problem.  On my Fedora Core 4, it shows the 
following text:

(gdb) l
5          We call it from the main() function in this file.  */
6       void MAIN__ (void);
7
8       /* Main procedure for fortran programs.  All we do is set up the environment
9          for the Fortran program.  */
10      int
11      main (int argc, char *argv[])
12      {
13        /* Set up the runtime environment.  */
14        set_args (argc, argv);

I ever encountered similar problems on PPC platform.
