Yes, and that's really sweet of you.

No, I call you "not listening"...

You've been told many times now that the patches you posted are just
wrong. But you still insist that you've posted the solution and that
everyone should just ignore the fact that you:
a) did not test the patch
b) did not understand the parts of the compiler you're changing

See?
Not listening.

*laughs*

I don't know what project you're looking at, but it seems to me that
gfortran no problem at all to attract developers.  Granted,
discussions like this one don't help. But there are, I don't know, 12?
15? active gfortran developers, and that's more than any other front
end.

If you want to make a point, don't use such rediculous arguments.
