 Of course you don't share the same confidence, you didn't trace the bug
 down to its source like we did. It was the configure script for the R spkg
 calling a very specific fortran command that made the build eventually
 fail. It is very easy to imagine that none of the other configure scripts
 called fortran in this way. In fact, they couldn't have or the build would
 have failed earlier.

 {{{$SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage_fortain}}} script '''must''' have been working at
 one point, otherwise ATLAS, Linpack, Numpy and other things that used
 Fortran would not have built.

 Define working.

 As I pointed out earlier, this is just plain wrong!

 You are!
