Here in the USA, we were inundated for many years by adds from Toyota 
with the above message. :-)

Yes.  For many years, I did not install the Fortran components of GCC. 
I set these variables to 'no' in config.site because the Sun Fortran 
components were otherwise used by mistake in the libtool test suite. 
More recently, I have started to install the Fortran components so I 
should be able to remove the overrides. Since I try to enforce using a 
particular GCC version in config.site, I will probably set this 
definition to use gfortran.
