If fortran.at is only supposed to be testing Fortran 77, then none of the
AC_FC_* macros should be in there.  (I'm not sure where you want to put
them, though.)

I would just remove the $G77-specific AC_FREEFORM test entirely from
fortran.at.  You could, of course, use $ac_cv_fc_compiler_gnu instead of
$G77, but that still wouldn't really be right, because in the near future
$FC may well be gfortran and not g77, and who knows what flags it will
accept.

(Isn't AC_FC_FREEFORM already tested in acfortran.at?  I have to admit I
don't completely understand these different files in the tests/
directory.)
