It seems to be bug in GCC. You may consider submitting a bug report for GCC
(see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html).

Also You can try my build of 2002/09/26 development version of GCC (note it's 
a development version and it is not really tested, so it may miscompile 
sources or behave in some some other weird way, use at Your own risk. At 
least it was able to bootstrap itself ...), which I patched to swap command 
line arguments for ratfor (file gcc/f/lang_specs.h) at:

	http://hal.astr.lu.lv/pub/djgpp/gcc/3.3-20020926/

(I don't have gcc-3.2 build directory tree on machine and also time to
do a bootstrapping).

It seems so.

Please tell me if these binaries fixes this problem.
