gfortran needed on host to compile gcc >= 4.1.2

gfortran needed on host to compile gcc >= 4.1.2

[Junqian Gordon Xu]

I took the liberty to enable gfortran for gcc_4.1.2 (hence gcc >= 4.1.2 
has fortran enabled). The side effect is that you need to install 
gfortran or g77 on your host to compile it.

Can I still build gcc(-cross) without gfortran when gfortran is not 
installed on host? If not they I would call it ugly regression...

I have succesfully built gcc-4.2.2 with fortran support without gfortran
on host, but then it requires libgmp and libmpfr on host instead. It
should be possible to work around, but for now I have postponed it.

I'm afraid you will get stuck in do_configure of gcc(-cross). I assume 
the burden of installing gfortran on the host is low. But people may 
disagree. Maybe we could introduce a fortran flag in a conf files, if 
there is too much opposition to the change.
