On WinXP, I have several Fortran compilers: Digital Visual Fortran, Intel Fortran, Salford Fortran, and soon I will install the g95 from GNU. I could not get *any* of them working with gdb in the first place. I was able to use with only partial success ddd in debugging Intel Fortran executables under Linux. Frequently it would complain about address problems, and soon it would crash. It is really frustrating to struggle to use debugger while you really need to find out what is wrong with your code (and of course, what is wrong with your knowledge of the theory behind your code).
