Bugzilla Bug 97437

I have gcc installed (with the fortran use flag).  This provides a g77
executable, but it does not provide a f77, which is usually a link to the
generic system fortran compiler.  Some older things (and with fortran 77 almost
everything is older) expect this behavior.
cc is in /usr/bin (and points to gcc).  Every other linux (and solaris) have
f77, so I assume this is the proper UNIX type behavior.  Redhat and Mandrake use
symbolic links to make /usr/bin/f77 point to g77.  I'm not sure how Gentoo does
it for cc, but f77 should probably be created the same way.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gcc with fortran flag
2. which f77
3.



Expected Results:  
/usr/bin/f77 should exist and it should call g77

ok, it's a small bug in gcc-config ... shouldnt be hard to fix ...

can you please try this fix and see if it works ?

As soon as I get back in town and have access to my computers again (late
Tuesday probably) I'll try it and report back.  Since you've responded so quick,
I didn't want it to look like I was just sitting on your patch and not doing
anything with it.

Thanks.

I made the changes to
/usr/local/portage/sys-devel/gcc-config/files/gcc-config-1.3.11
(the location of my portage overlay)
and did emerge -v gcc-config which finished with no errors.

When I then try to run f77, I get the error:

gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "f77"

g77 however still works.

ok, then try this patch:

I tried that patch and it works perfect.  Thanks.

Just to be clear, I have both the patch from comment 8 and the patch from
comment 5 applied.  If you would like a me to try a different combination (like
just the most recent one, let me know), although it looks like both are needed
to me.  Once again, thanks.

thanks, gcc-config-1.3.11-r4 has both these fixes
