Help on G77 under opteron AMD 64bit

[Riccardo Fantechi <Riccardo.Fantechi@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

we are currently tracing a problem on some old Fortran code using G77 on 
an AMD 64 bit Opteron machine. We understood that local variables are 
put in the stack area (i.e. with addresses > 2**32), which causes our 
deprecated and ugly code to fail.

Is there any option to force local variables to be in the same address 
area as those in COMMON? We have tried with -fno-automatic, but it 
doesn't seem to solve the problem.

We are using gcc 3.3.1 under Suse linux.


Thank you very much                     Riccardo Fantechi - Giuseppe
