On the HP9000, the -a option to f77(1) does this.

On the HP9000 (series 300/HP-UX 6.2 or greater only) the flint tool can do
both of these.  HP flint bears no relation to the commercial product of the
same name that is distrubuted by another company (whose name I cannot
remember right at this moment...).  Note that flint also accepts the -a
flag.
