I see. But it is still a very old gfortran.

Modern Fortran code will e.g. use ISO C bindings (Fortran 2003) for 
interfacing with C and the IEEE environment (Fortran 2008) for 
consistent floating point arithmetics. It would be sad if an old CRAN 
gfortran prevents future additions to SciPy from using these rather 
essential Fortran tools.
