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.
