This is probably the solution. Why? because you can only use g77 with gcc-3.x OR gfortran with gcc-4.x. You cannot use g77 with gcc-4 they are incompatible. So if you have a Python/R/Perl/you-name-it binary containing Fortran objects built with g77 you cannot extend it with code compiled with gcc-4. This is true on any platform. The issue arises mainly on Tiger because it does not have an included Fortran compiler and out of the box it defaults to using gcc-4. Binary packages are shipped built with g77 and sometimes including g77. These are bound to fail on Tiger unless the default compiler is changed using the gcc_select command as above. I have built Scipy with gcc-4, but you must use gfortran to compile all the Fortran code for that to work. I do wish someone on Python, R-project or some other web site would document this issue. I must have posted at least twenty messages saying the same thing.
