Although you may try to play with the optimization options, just don't use
PGCC anymore - newer GCC versions optimize as good, most likely even better
as PGCC 2.95.2 on Pentium (and up) CPUs.

Nevertheless I am scared that g77 from PGCC produces THAT bad code, but I
only used the C and C++ compilers extensively and as PGCC development has
AFAIK been stopped for the reason above, just go with GCC 3.x.
