The sunfcompiler.py is probably tested only for 7.1 version:

$ f90 -V
f90: Sun Fortran 95 7.1 2003/03/12
Usage: f90 [ options ] files.  Use 'f90 -flags' for details

I have fixed (hopefully) sunfcompiler.py in CVS for Sun WorkShop 6.

Strange, `man bash` allows `bash -c string arg0 arg1 ..`

This is now in scipy CVS as well.
