As you said, this varies by compiler. Some do it by default, others have a peculiar option for this.

I have also wondered how to embed information about the source code in
the executable. Currently I define a parameter NVERSION in my main
program and have a line at the beginning

write (*,*) "version #",NVERSION

This method relies on my changing NVERSION manually and on saving old
source codes. I know there exist source control systems such as RCS,
but can one use them to automatically embed version information in an
executable?

Perhaps you refer to the practice which was common at one time of initializing a character string such as SCCSID.
