+Generate code designed to be compatible with code generated

+
+The calling conventions used by @command{g77} (originally implemented
+in @command{f2c}) require functions that return type
+default @code{REAL} to actually return the C type @code{double}, and
+functions that return type @code{COMPLEX} to return the values via an
+extra argument in the calling sequence that points to where to
+store the return value. Under the default GNU calling conventions, such
+functions simply return their results as they would in GNU
+C -- default @code{REAL} functions return the C type @code{float}, and
+@code{COMPLEX} functions return the GNU C type @code{complex}.
+Additionally, this option implies the @options{-fsecond-underscore}
+option, unless @options{-fno-second-underscore} is explicitly requested.
+
+This does not affect the generation of code that interfaces with
+the @command{libgfortran} library.
+
+@emph{Caution:} It is not a good idea to mix Fortran code compiled

+calling conventions as, calling @code{COMPLEX} or default @code{REAL}
+functions between program parts which were compiled with different
+calling conventions will break at execution time.
+
+@emph{Caution:} This will break code which passes intrinsic functions
+of type default @code{REAL} or @code{COMPLEX} as actual arguments, as
+the library implementations use the @command{-fno-f2c} calling conventions.
