The trigger of the failure is the move from gfortran 4.8 to 4.9. More
precisely, the -fno-whole-file option was dropped in gfortran 4.9 (it is
still accepted but does nothing), and this option was required to make
the tests pass.

I am now investigating why this option was needed in the first place,
and how to work around this removal.
