This is also solveable by setting a strategic symlink from libc.so ->
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so.4 in the f95 backend's search path.

Does it do a "gcc -o a a.c -L /usr/local/lib/f95 -lf96 -lm -lc" or something
like that?  If so, you can put the libc.so symlink in there.

I assume that the generated code doesn't contain #includes...  If it does
you'll also need to do something about that so that you get the right
#includes.  libf96.so is a 4.x binary.  Even if it wasn't for __sF, you
should be compiling with 4.x libraries and (if needed) 4.x headers, because
you have parts of the 4.x stdio.h embedded in libf96.so.
