Good catch, I hadn't been paying attention to this discussion. The
proposed math-vector-fortran.h is indeed a problem for the test
program in my patch, because of the use of $, which is not part of the
C basic source character set. (If I remember correctly, GCC allows $
in identifiers as an extension to C, but my test program is
intentionally very picky.)
My first reaction is to wonder whether math-vector-fortran.h should
have an extension other than .h. I don't know what conventions there
are for this sort of thing in Fortran, but if it could have some other
extension then it would be easy to exclude it from this test in the
makefiles. Another possibility is to put an Emacs-style "mode"
annotation on the first line of the file: -*- f90 -*- which I could
make my test program recognize and skip the file.
Incidentally, this looks like a copy-and-paste error:
+! You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public

Should that last line have a */ on it?
