LANGUAGES Macro Ignored
.......................

   Prior to version 0.5.23 of `g77' and version 1.1 of `egcs', `g77'
would sometimes ignore the absence of `f77' and `F77' in the
`LANGUAGES' macro definition used for the `make' command being
processed.

   As of `g77' version 0.5.23 and `egcs' version 1.1, `g77' now obeys
this macro in all relevant situations.

   However, in versions of `gcc' through 2.8.1, non-`g77' portions of
`gcc', such as `g++', are known to go ahead and perform various
language-specific activities when their respective language strings do
not appear in the `LANGUAGES' macro in effect during that invocation of
`make'.

   It is expected that these remaining problems will be fixed in a
future version of `gcc'.
