A rather obvious patch for an ICE occurring for invalid code:

   ptr => f()

requires that "f()" returns a pointer. Currently, gfortran first happily 
accepts "f()" if the result variable has the target attribute - and then 
it ICEs. (Cf. PR for the quotes from the standard.)

Build on x86-64-linux and currently regtesting (so far successfully).
OK for the trunk?

Tobias

OK.

I'll suggest a slight wording change in the error message.
Currently, you have "Pointer assignment target expression"
which I find a little awkward.  Perhaps,
 
+      gfc_error ("Target expression in pointer assignment "
+                "at %L must deliver a pointer result",
+                &rvalue->where);

Whatever you decide to commit is fine with me.
