 YEs, gave me a false sense of victory for a while. Lucky I figured out
 what
 the recipe for success was. Imagine: we have a working install and no one
 knows
 why or is able to reproduce it!

 Definitely something to try.

 > Btw., the "native" SLES GCC is configured with `--enable-
 languages=...,fortran,...`, so in principle `gfortran` should be
 available, perhaps packaged separately though. (It's only a wrapper
 anyway, so should be replaceable by some simple shell script.)

 You would think so. However I cannot find anything on the sles11 dvds (for
 either x86_64 or ppc64) that mention explicitly fortran. It could be part
 of some other gcc rpm I need to have a closer look.
