  FC: Sun FORTRAN f77.

  I'm bashing my brains in trying to figure out how to force 'f77' to load
  in *my* object modules from *my* object library.
 
  What I'm doing is replacing several software-package routines, and putting
  them all into my own .a file. But, when I link everything together, 'f77'
  uses the system modules, not mine. I can force it to use my own modules
  via the '-g $(LIBDIR)/object.o' command, but I've got more than a few of
  my own modules, and this is sloppy. What's the point of personal libraries
  when they don't work?

  'f77' doesn't even tell you when modules are duplicated, either.

  On our Cray, 'cft77' tells you when modules are duplicated, and which ones
  it's using (and from which library they are). The best I can do is have
  'f77' pass on the '-M' option to the linker, but all that tells me is the
  libraries I'm accessing and the '.o' files used.
  
  Anybody with any ideas? The manual stinks.
