The latest snapshot of gcc-4.2's gfortran should also work on intel.

It's true that it should, but I've had some trouble with it. There are various pieces of fink's gcc4 package which don't build with that snapshot. I worked around that, and have a modified .info file for the snapshot but (1) some libraries are missing and other have changed their major version numbers so it can't really be used to replace the current fink package and (2) shantonu sen pointed out that gfortran has actually built for a while on intel (using gcc mainline sources), but that it was producing incorrect code. That is supposed fixed with a patch from late March (just prior to the snapshot I used). However, my feeble attempts to figure out how to test the gfortran I built haven't gotten very far. One thing I can tell you is that the g++ which is built from the latest snapshot had an incredible number of errors during testing.

(To be more precise: I was using the April 1 snapshot; by now, there is presumably an April 8 snapshot as well.)
