--- Comment #7 from Johannes M Dieterich <jmd at freebsd.org> ---
As the maintainer of devel/flang I agree with Steve here. flang is a) not yet
ready to replace gfortran (for the reasons Steve discussed) and b) only
available for amd64. Personally, I hope this will change eventually and I hope
we (as in FreeBSD) can help upstream by filing bug reports and vetting the
compiler.

I assume that you, Steve, filed these 100 internal compiler errors with flang
upstream so that we can track progress?

Alternatively, could we get the Fortran test suite into the ports tree? I
wouldn't mind having that myself to check flang updates.

I see as a more viable alternative to get BLAS and LAPACK to Fortran-free
implementations and am working on making blis and flame viable. Reference
source-code implementations for BLAS/LAPACK are anyways a bad idea to use in
production. That'll still leave a bunch of Fortran ports but at least it would
be a start.
