That way we would only link Fortran_main when there is actually a program statement in the Fortran. However that’s more work and would need a bit more thought anyway so we at least need something like this or the revert in the interim.

That sounds good!  For now, the code should effectively avoid linking Fortran_main on Linux and Windows if -fno-fortran-main is present.
