Well, there's a helpful answer! You obviously want to change libgfortran for some reason. It seems only normal to me that you make an effort to explain why you think this is necessary. AFAIK the chmod in libgfortran, and in libg2c before that, has never been a problem for anyone. And with the basic rule "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" in mind, there is no reason to change the implementation to something more sophisticated. So what problem are you trying to solve? Got a test case? Please don't point back to the PR again, you're not explaining the problem there either, only the symptom. Surely, you didn't wonder off into libgfortran land if you didn't have a piece of real world code that has issues with the current libgfortran chmod? ;-) Gr. Steven
