OK, makes sense... I was just putting the contents of iccvars.sh
directly into this script. But I happened to leave out the IA32ROOT
variable, which was the reason for a couple of the problems below.

Not for me... The reason it was not linking earlier was I forgot to
set the IA32ROOT variable. Now it links and generates an executable,
but on running it, it coredumps with "Bad system call" (even if I
brand it as linux first).

Turns out it was the missing IA32ROOT variable again.

That's what I do already -- it still doesn't brand the binary as
linux... the binary type is 0.

It seems to have something to do with the fact that I link using the
linux ld. The (non-working) binary directly generated by ifc doesn't
say this.

True... well, the fortran port would be a good start anyway; it
doesn't have this problem, and it fills a larger hole (gcc is very
usable and feature-complete, but g77 is really pretty bad, and
moreover doesn't support Fortran 90/95...)
