277?  Maybe you're confusing the GNU Fortran 77 compiler (g77) with the C
compiler?

I'm using 2.95 on unstable and testing systems here, and it works without a
hitch.  Some others use 3.2.

Any internal compiler error is a gcc bug.  There is really no reason to use
3.0 on i386; use either 2.95 (tried and true) or 3.2 (latest stable
release and soon default).
