Simply -lgfortran by it self should not work. Since lib directories
gcc44 gcc45 gcc46 and such are not in the standard path
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc44 would have to be passed to LDFLAGS in order for
it to be found.

Off list should not be necessary.

With my change in objdump the only thing listed in objdump -x that is
relevant to -lgfortran is the RPATH=/usr/local/lib/gcc44 and there is no
undefined symbols.

Without my change it simply will not build unless I either a) remove
-lgfortran or b) add -L/usr/local/lib/gcc44

Would it be possible with this to check for the existence of -lc_p
before and opt out automatically while warning the user that the
profiled libc was not found so profiling will be unavailable. ?

Specifically this port is making a blind assumptions that profiled
libraries are installed on the system it is being installed on, I do not
find that to be correct. Something like this would best be handled by
options that default off.
