Comment:

 Here is the spkg:

    http://wstein.org/home/wstein/patches/fortran-20100117.spkg

 Note, after first trying to do something very complicated, involving
 changing the gfortran OS X binary to really use its quadcore stuff, etc.,
 etc., I realized that could cause endless trouble, so can be put off.  So
 the point of this spkg is just a very simple and humble goal -- no more
 g95 binaries when building Sage on linux.  That is it.

 Oh, regarding SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB, one shouldn't need to set that unless
 one's setup is weird, in which case one sets SAGE_FORTAN and
 SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB anyways.  So in the attached spkg, I only set
 SAGE_FORTRAN, not SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB.

 NOTE: On Linux, this spkg change makes Sage depend on having gfortran
 installed.  So it would be a good idea to update prereq accordingly, but
 that should not be part of this ticket.
