The source-buildable packages get upgraded much more frequently than
the binary repository. Unfortunately, "fink" only knows about the
versions in the source-buildable set ("stable", and "unstable" if
you've enabled it). According to the fink.conf manpage:
UseBinaryDist: boolean
[...]
Note that this mode instructs Fink to download the version it wants
if that version is available for download; it does not cause Fink
to choose a version based on its binary availability.
You could use apt-get directly to download+install the g77 and ocaml
versions from the bindist.
