 The "problem" is that I am still using lang/gcc34, which does not come 
 with a Fortran compiler. I guess lang/gcc46 provides g77, so all those 
 who have switched to gcc46 don't see this problem.
 
 After reverting the change made in revision 1.113 of mk/compiler/gcc.mk, 
 math/py-numpy compiles again - but still claims, that no Fortran 
 compiler can be found. But this is consistent with my build on NetBSD 
 5.1, where GCC 4.1.3 does not provide g77 either, but f2c is also not 
 used. math/py-numpy decides just to cope with the fact that no Fortran 
 compiler is available. math/fftw uses f2c again and builds successfully.
 
 If I understand revsion 1.113 of mk/compiler/gcc.mk correctly, the 
 assumption is, that if you use pkgsrc's GCC, you don't need another 
 Fortran compiler, because GCC provides one. This is not true, unless 
 support for all but the very recent GCCs is dropped. Please revert that 
 change.
