gfortran: OpenACC init, set and shutdown directives are not accepted ("Unclassifiable OpenACC directive")

Legality: independently confirmed. 2 independent readings find the program legal and the result required. How this is checked

GCC 16.2's Fortran front end does not parse the OpenACC init, set and shutdown directives ("Unclassifiable OpenACC directive"); the C front end accepts them. These directives are part of OpenACC 2.5, and GCC documents OpenACC 2.6. NVHPC compiles and runs the programs.

"behaves incorrectly" / "not supported": this issue, confirmed in up to four environments (another build directory, another node, a repeat). "fails another way": a different failure, not counted as this issue. "unknown": not run there, or the runs disagree.

! - failure: rejected: Unclassifiable OpenACC directive
! - observed: `Error: Unclassifiable OpenACC directive at (1)` at `!$acc init` (also `!$acc set`, `!$acc shutdown`, and set's
!   default_async and device_num clauses), on both GPUs. The C programs of the same directives compile.
! - expected: compiles; `RESULT ran_on_host=0 check=pass`
! - spec: the init directive (OpenACC 3.4 §2.14.1 l.3089-3100), "In Fortran the syntax of the init directive is: !$acc init
!   [clause-list]"; the shutdown directive (§2.14.2) and the set directive (§2.14.3). They were added in OpenACC 2.5 (the
!   specification's "Changes from Version 2.0 to 2.5", margin lines 590-591).
! - GCC 16.2 documentation (libgomp.texi "Enabling OpenACC"): "A complete description of all OpenACC directives accepted may be
!   found in the OpenACC Application Programming Interface manual, version 2.6"; _OPENACC is 201711 (2.6). No list of OpenACC gaps
!   is documented.
! - other families: NVHPC 25.11/26.9 compile and run the programs (separate and managed memory); CCE 19/20/21 compile them and abort
!   at run time (cce-acc-init-set-runtime-assert.f90).
! - gate and confirmer: 10 cells (5 gcc_g90, 5 gcc_sm80), each confirmed in the gate's four environments (a-d;

! - catalog programs (5): acc34-clause-default_async, acc34-clause-device_num, acc34-directive-init, acc34-directive-set,
!   acc34-directive-shutdown
! - legality: the catalog programs are legal by construction (offload.engine.gen, c_gen and acc_gen
!   check every program against the catalog rules and the offload scope as it is built; no
!   compiler). GCC is a compiler under test only: never a legality witness, here or for another
