The regression tester doesn't make such policy decisions; it simply does '.../configure && make bootstrap'. Thus, as you see, the expected status of gfortran on Darwin is that it doesn't get built. I believe this has something to do with Darwin not having some libraries that gfortran requires, and possibly also gfortran not being enabled by default. I'm hesitant to install those libraries specially for the regression tester; the tester is not supposed to be testing optional configurations, it is testing the default build. It would be better if gfortran could be changed so that it did not require those libraries, or if those libraries were provided as part of the tree.
