Stonie,

The whole reason that the linux files assign the hex values in the MCHPRM files
was that the g77 compiler wouldn't allow the use of the CHAR() intrinsic
function in a PARAMETER statement, unlike all the other F77 compilers on the
other platforms. Hopefully gfortran will fix/allow that (eg, I'd suggest trying 
the
 CHAR() statements as is done in the little endial MCHPRM.X86). That would
solve 2 problems (eg the need to avoid the CHAR() usage, and the need to
cast the integer hex number to a character.
