Ummm shouldn't that be "GCC 4.0.1", not "GCC4.01" ???
Further that pattern seems as though it's been through some web 
garbling; for example "<" instead of "<", the parentheses don't 
match, the string isn't terminated by a "'", spaces missing, ....

Can you post an ungarbled version of the original line (maybe the 
*whole* g95.py -- e-mail if it's too big) and what you changed it to, 
plus what your f95 compiler puts out when you run it with  --version?

Cheers,
