 Prior to 4.3.1.rc2, Sage included a Fortran compiler for Linux and OS X,
 so there was no need to have one.

 As such, the 'prereq' script did not check for it. #7485 merged in
 sage-4.3.1.rc2 removed the Fortran compiler.

 It would appear from at least one log posted

 http://sporadic.stanford.edu/bump/sage-4.3.1-errors

 that despite gcc being built with Fortran support

 {{{

 languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang
 --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
 --without-included-gettext

 --host=i486-linux-gnu --target=i486-linux-gnu
 }}}

 Fortran it is not installed on some Ubunta systems. As such, prereq should
 be modified to check for a Fortran compiler on every platform except OS X.
