Is this a problem?

No. I did not specify any optimization options myself.

That's what I was afraid of.

As far as I know, the gfortran I used on Linux is a release (version 4.2.1), 
but the one I use on OS X is from 
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinariesMacOS, which is not.

I noticed that you wrote "gcc" and not "gfortran" here. Now on my Linux 
system at work, the version of *gcc* is 4.1.3, which is not the same as the 
version of gfortran. Actually, to my surprise, gcc itself is a 20070929 
prerelease (which I didn't notice until just now). On OS X, the Apple 
Developer Tools, version 2.5, still use a gcc version of 4.0.x. (I forget the 
exact version.) I wonder if that affects things.
