As I tried to express before, I think this PR actually trips several bugs at 
once.

* A bug in error f95's handling, which probably causes the seg fault. The
compiler simply must not seg fault.

* A configuration problem: The configure scripts should be able to detect if a
target doesn't meet its expectations.

* f95 disqualifies ifselves from several embedded targets, if it can not be
built/used on targets not supporting REAL8. IIRC, there even exist variants of
major _targets_ (IIRC, powerpc, m68k) which do not support REAL8.
IMO, this is a design flaw, which should be in your interest to be circumvented.
