Over the last few years I have developed a 30,000 line Fortran-95
engineering application using simultaneously several compilers (XLF,
LF95, G95, and IVF). During that time I toyed with Gfortran and put
up with the 2 steps forward, 1 step back of each binary build.
However, I'm now happy to report my "last" issue with it has been
resolved and more importantly performance is almost identical to XLF
and IVF in most cases. Congratulations to all involved with this
project!

I'll second that. I've used roughly half a dozen compilers over the
past five years. Over the past year, gfortran really seems to be
raging ahead of a lot of the competition in features. I really hope
the Gnu Compiler Collection will ultimately assume the leadership role
in the Fortran community that it played in the C++ community a decade
ago. It's great to see volunteers accomplishing what commercial
developers can't or won't accomplish in the same amount of time.
