    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where POSIX2_FORT_DEV is defined
    as -1 and the implementation does not claim conformance to the XPG4
    FORTRAN option.

    POSIX.2 allows POSIX2_FORT_DEV to take the value of -1 when a system will
    never support fortran development. See page 722 of IEEE 1003.2-1992. The
    fort77 test purposes do not look for -1 as an acceptable value and thus
    attempt to run on systems that have POSIX2_FORT_DEV defined as -1. The
    code currently look like this:

    if [ `GetConfig POSIX2_FORT_DEV` = "undefined" ]; then
    SetResult $TET_UNSUPPORTED
    return
    fi

    The "GetConfig POSIX2_FORT_DEV" returns a -1 which does not equal
    "undefined".

    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We agree this is a test suite deficiency in the test
    suite version(s) listed.

    This interpretation only applies to VSC 4.1.4. The implementation
    must not claim conformance to the XPG4 FORTRAN option and getconf
    POSIX2_FORT_DEV must return -1 with a zero exit status.
