   When I try this, I get another error from the converter:

   fromieee: error: Fortran complex types not supported

   I tried different switches when compiling: -g/-gstabs/-gcoff. The
   resulting files differed in size, but the error stayed...

I don't see that error in the current sources (2.8.1).  Perhaps it was
in an older version; I don't remember.  I don't remember what it might
mean.
