Comment:

 Due to #7485, Linux Fortran binaries are now removed from the Fortran
 spkg. This means that under Linux, Fortran is a pre-requisite for
 compiling Sage from source just as the GCC suite of compilers is a pre-
 requisite. The new
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/7484/README.txt
 README.txt] states that Fortran is a pre-requisite for compiling Sage on
 Linux. This file is based on that in Sage 4.3.1.rc1. The diff file
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/7484/README.diff
 README.diff] shows differences between the attached README.txt and the one
 in Sage 4.3.1.rc1. Don't apply this diff file. Just replace the current
 README.txt under SAGE_ROOT with the attached README.txt.
