This is, if you will forgive my saying so, a bit absurd. I think
we've been discussing this problem for three or four years now and
we're still waiting for a new and more accurate attribute. I hope
there's at least some clarification of the text for DW_CC_program
included; if it's not for the entry point, and it's not for the
Fortran main program, I have no idea what it's for.
I see that FX is considering implementing it for gfortran now.
