It a g77 compatibility issue. From the g77 manual (page 190),
ยท The commas in `READ (5), I' and `WRITE (10), J'.
These commas are disallowed by FORTRAN 77, but, while strictly superfluous,
are syntactically elegant, especially given that commas are required in
statements such as `READ 99, I' and `PRINT *, J'. Many compilers permit
the superfluous commas for this reason.
This is part of GNU Fortran, which I agree a cesspool of vendor
extensions. I doubt that this will be changed (too many more
important things to work on). If you want strict conformance,
it is probably best to add -std=f95 or -std=f2003, or -std=2008
to your command line.
