     Pat has already told you how to achieve what you have requested.
I want to point out that we tried the egcs compiler (now called g77)
on Solaris with disappointing results.  The code worked, but it ran
30-50% slower than when compiled with Sun's compilers.  g77 is very
good in optimizing for Intel chips, but manufacturers like Sun and
Compaq (DEC) do better with their own chips.  Of course, their
compilers are not free.
