fOptions no longer builds: Fortran error

Hi all,

During a routine rebuild of the Debian archive, it was noticed that
fOptions no longer builds (http://bugs.debian.org/628314) as the Fortran
compiler (now gfortan-4.6) seems pickier:

> make[1]: Entering directory `/build/user-foptions_2110.78-1-amd64-xexJr_/foptions-2110.78/src'
> gfortran   -fpic  -O3 -pipe  -g -c 085A-LowDiscrepancy.f -o 085A-LowDiscrepancy.o
> 085A-LowDiscrepancy.f:181.32:
> 
>                QN(I, J) = HQNORM(QUASI(J))                              
>                                 1
> Error: Return type mismatch of function 'hqnorm' at (1) (REAL(4)/REAL(8))
> make[1]: *** [085A-LowDiscrepancy.o] Error 1

I do not write Fortran so would not know how to fix this. Any RMetrics export
who can fix this?
