Point taken, thanks.  In the event, -i4 caused many more problems.

Actually, 64-bit default integer g95 DID compile cp2k sources from
20070928 or thereabouts, at a time when gfortran 4.3 had
difficulties.  Note that even the same arch file or flags therefrom
fail with 2008 sources.

It produced very good results with other codes (even before gfortran
was operational,) though this is not always the case.

Since at least some of these use 64-bit reals, it seems reasonable to
use compilers that give that on 64-bit machines.  If cp2k is really
intended for only the 32-bit version, a comment to that effect might
be added to the respective arch files to indicate that.

Thanks.
