Thanks!

I was still not able to build gcc-4.3 in fink, even with Xcode 2.5,  
because gmp/libmpfr1-shlibs would not build because it fails some  
tests.  (interestingly, whether tests are done seem to depend on what  
gets built first.  A gmp build fails.  But if you build gmp-shlibs  
first, gmp builds....).  Oy.

I achieved the real goal (building fftw3) by downloading the package  
and hand-editing the config.h file that ./configure generated to get  
the mangling of the FORTRAN interface correct.  I have no idea whether  
the result is the optimum result for fftw, but I does do a FFT.

This was meant to be soooo simple.
