TTBOMK, and, really, this is kinda off list-topic by now:

Before XCode 4, Apple has -never- provided fortran as part of their standard XCode GCC install. Apple's GCC 4.0.1 and 4.2.1, as found in XCode for OSX 10.5 and 10.6, do not. I don't have XCode 4 yet, so I cannot comment on what is included with it.

GCC is under the GPL, so Apple is required to release their source changes in some way. Thus, since GCC is capable of building fortran, Apple's GCC variant should be as well with the correct tweaks. I'm not a GCC hacker, but I'm sure there are folks out there who could figure out what to do.

Apple is moving away from stock GCC, towards LLVM / Clang etc.. LLVM provides interfaces for the major languages including fortran, though of course Apple can provide whatever interfaces it choose to.

I'm sure there are others, but this'll have to do for now :) - MLD
