Please, don't top-post, it looses context.  In fact, I've
deleted all of the previous context. :-)

Not sure why you're forced away from FreeBSD because of
Fortran.  gfortran has been a part of GCC since 2005.
Although the first year or two of gfortran's life saw a
large number of bugsi and patches, since gcc 4.4,x ori
4.5.x, she's been a very good compiler.
