4.6.3 certainly does.  The ASSIGN and associated GOTO statement work as
defined in the standard.  They'll make your code slow as a pig (as they
will do on any modern architecture) and practically unreadable, but if
you have to run legacy code and don't want to spend time fixing it, it will
run properly.

Now, the old g77 that used the f2c front end did not support assigned
GOTO for various reasons, but that compiler is long, long dead thank God,
and has nothing to do with modern gfortran.
