Oh, I see - I forgot about this replacing the Fortran.

contains bugs).
Well, but if it won't compile Pari, then maybe we should just stick with
that. Why not just use the old Apple-shipped gcc for 10.4 and 10.5 or
something? That seems very reasonable. And cuts down on build time for
already old slow systems.
