Hi Folks,

The attached patch does some minor cleanup and bumps the libgfortran
version
number.  I have wanted to reorder the dtp structure for many years now.
Not
strictly needed but it has bugged me forever.

The bump is needed because of the significant changes from implementation
of DTIO.


--- snip ---

Revised patch. Changed a single byte char to int for better memory alignment
on 32 bit boundaries. Regression tested on x86-64-linux, FreeBSD, and
Power8.

I plan to commit this to trunk sometime today.

I understood from https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2016-10/msg00168.html
that fortran-dev won't be in shape for merging until GCC 8 stage 1. If
so, shouldn't we avoid breaking the ABI until then?


The ABI is already changed with the UD-DTIO changes, so we need to bump version to avoid surprises with other earlier versions.
