I need to correct myself: _QQEnvironmentDefaults is not a function that is called, but rather an external file-scope variable that creates that symbol.  The symbol used to initialize that is `_FortranAProgramStart`.  Plus, there's `_FortranAProgramEndStatement` that also used by `Fortran_main.a`.  So, lot's of symbols that should not be in a dynamic library for no reason. :-)
