[For the next .iso release] Could GCC be compiled with (addition of) --enable-languages=fortran?

Heya lucas, hisham etc...

Would it be possible to add "fortran" to GCC 9.2.0 by default?

I ask this specifically because when trying to compile R (the programming language often used for statistics) it requires fortran.

This is not hugely important because ultimately people can just compile a new gcc, but I thought it would be nice if the default GCC on the next GoboLinux .iso release would support that out of the box.

I am currently testing the new alpha release a bit; will take me some days to give some feedback (I think from the core tools only grep was a bit old and could need update, but the rest seems very recent; glibc could be 2.31 but I guess it is not that important either). Anyway this was really mostly just about GCC, good to see GoboLinux playing Phoenix from the ashes!

Let me look into this in the coming days. I will either update the recipe as you suggest or push an updated gcc-fortran package.

017's GCC package is going to include gfortran. I'm going to push an updated ISO this week so you can test it.
