I concur. However, that's what the current version in the trunk does: 
-Wall implies -Wtarget-lifetime.

On the other hand, I just realized that "attr.result" is not set if the 
function symbols is also its result symbol – hence, there is no warning for:

function f()
   integer, pointer :: f
   integer, target :: t
   f => t
end

I think the following patch will fix that. I will package, regtest and 
commit it later.
