It doesn't compile - that's what's broken :). My impression is that there is quite a bunch of new pieces and changes in the C back-end code that were shared by the gfortran, but the fortran part was not updated correspondingly. I tried to patch some of the holes, but didn't get very far. Maybe if someone has the spare time to trace all the changes individually in both the FSF and Apple branch could put it together... > I don't mind filing a bug report with them too The problem is Apple doesn't support gfortran and never did. The ability to compile gfortran from the Apple branch was just incidental and required some tweaking as well (basically manually enabling f95 in the build script and patching together fat gfortran libraries), but it was harmless. When you ask them, they say "use f2c" (but R doesn't support that).
