I'm not coding in Fortran. But the language I'm using, Pascal,
doesn't support - as far as I know - that kind of thing either.
So what I have done is put the architecture-specific code in
different files, and pick the file I need at build time. This
is easily done with conditional instructions embedded in my
MMS files. If you don't have MMS (it's not cheap), there is
the freeware MMK that does the same thing.
