Does anyone else out there use the PGI compilers, especially the fortran compiler (pgf90)? Some packages (like netcdf) support it in the ebuild, but it would be really nice to be able to use it by default. The trick is adding it to the fortran eclass. I've got a custom version of the fortran eclass in my overlay, but I also have to make a copy of the package I want to use in my overlay and add pgf90 to the list. Easier with Gentoo than other distros, but still a bit of a haste.

Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know if the devs have a good reason not to include pgi in portage or if they just haven't got around to it?

I would be happy to create an ebuild if someone buys Gentoo a license. But the more general solution that needs to happen is for fortran.eclass to get a way to override the known-working compiler list in ebuilds.

Thanks,
