 Is gcc on the NeXT using inline 68882 instructions?  If it is and the
 Fortran compiler is not, this could explain the speed difference.
 Saving a function call for every operation will do that...

Yes, gcc does use inline floating point functions unless you define
STRICT_ANSI.  Look at the file /usr/include/math.h.
