Nice and fantastic to see the 7z windows binaries! Re splitting, your toolchain/scripts/zipping.sh could be supercharged to automate things into a base package (C/C++) and separate overlay packages for Fortran and Obj-C. But then you've got the SF bundle-o-packages-for-each-release maintenance issue. Given the packages are relatively small, I'm wondering if embeddeding a script (.sh or .py) that one manually runs after download/extract that simply walks the dir tree deleting artifacts wouldn't be a more manageable way to go. Start small and have the script just delete Fortran and Obj-C artifacts and leave the base C/C++ artifacts. If people want it to do more, they can send you pull requests on your git repo. Are the dependencies such that one can simply delete artifacts and the base C/C++ and GDB still works?
