Comment(by fbissey):

 The problem with ifc is actually more subtle than that
 [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336077] . someone has ifc
 installed but no license for whatever reason. Even so FC is set to
 gfortran, ifc will be tested if found. Without a license ifc wants to
 create a number of folders in the system, because the build system is
 sandboxed (so that no live files are touched will we are building the
 software) ifc throws an error with stops the build.

 While sage doesn't use a sandbox the build could stop if ifc has been
 installed as root and a regular user is building numpy.

 That's something to remember, even if a fortran compiler is selected,
 numpy/scipy will test for all the compilers they know off and try the one
 they found.

 As for scipy, there were notes in the old spkg that scipy uses numpy
 distutils to build, that may have changed slightly in scipy-0.8.0 as it
 wasn't necessary to set all these compilers before at least in sage. A
 quick look at the corresponding Gentoo ebuilds show that we have been
 setting FC, F77 and F90 (but not F95) for some time in scipy (OK I didn't
 go in the CVS attic to checkout 0.7.0 in particular, just 0.8.0 and
 0.7.2).
