In that message, I wrote:

I think it is reasonable to wait just a bit longer before applying
the patch.  At least we should see what happens in the 4.0.x bug-fix
releases, and maybe even wait until 4.1.  If anyone has any influence
over gfortran development, it would be helpful to try to get some
attention given to the bug report for ENTRY statements in functions.

Thanks,
