If you mean these lines in the generated config.h file:
/* Define to a macro mangling the given C identifier (in lower and upper
case), which must not contain underscores, for linking with Fortran. */
#define F77_FUNC(name,NAME) name ## _
/* As F77_FUNC, but for C identifiers containing underscores. */
#define F77_FUNC_(name,NAME) name ## __
then the definition depends on the Fortran compiler (the definition is
generated by autoconf). The doubled underscore suffix for names that
already contain an underscore was a convention used by f2c and copied
by other Unix Fortran 77 compilers including g77. I guess gfortran
does not use the same convention.
If you mean these lines:
#if defined(HAVE_F2C) && !defined(F77_FUNC)
# define F77_FUNC(name,NAME) name ## _
# define F77_FUNC_(name,NAME) name ## __
#endif
Then I don't think they should change.
In any case, we probably need to think about how to avoid installing
the generated config.h. We may still need a subset of that file
installed, but it should probably have a different name.
