This is a dumb comment trying to pass the buck IMO. Of course it's a national lab, but probably a specific group at a national lab (potentially even in a Office of Science arm) going through their support channels at Cray/HPE to get a fix, presumably porting away from intel compilers or something or trying to onboard to something else (conda/spack).<p>Cray/HPE could/should have just do the fix or pay for it, since presumably they are packaging gcc/gfortran as part of the OS. <i>Somebody</i> there has to be qualified to execute such a fix.
It's crazy to me that open source maintainers offer free support to corporations or governments that they could easily extract money from for the benefit of the project or themselves.<p>An individual wants a feature and is prepared to pitch in, probably worth the time investment for a maintainer.<p>The US government wants floating point arithmetic done a certain way, fuck you, pay me.
