Fixing gildas on PowerPC: Error: Symbol 'fmt_r4' at (1) has no IMPLICIT type; did you mean 'fmt_by'?

Once initial configure script is fixed to recognize the arch, build goes well, until bumps into a bug in the Fortran code here:

Hi,

GILDAS is not reported to compile under older/legacy operating system: ​https://ports.macports.org/port/gildas/details/. As far as I remember, it has been like this for years. Is this your first attempt to install GILDAS under PowerPC, or was it working for you up to a recent date?

I can’t say whether it will work in result, but Fortran must work: what we see here is apparently a bug and should be fixable. This does not exclude a possibility that something else still gonna fail, of course.
