it's currently the only function in scipy that is not F77 compatible.
It could be very simple to achieve F77 compatibility at least for the
next release by fixing it.

Unfortunately, no. that's nearly impossible.
I have to rely on a device specific gcc toolchain for which I don't
have access to the sources or configuration.

I guess fixing this one function should be much less effort.
