I presume that this is not an issue for linux, but maybe I'm wrong about that. In any case, I'm concerned about OS X.
- How well tested are the various standalone Fortran options for OS X? I mean, how well tested are they for building Sage? Gfortran coming from homebrew is already included in tox.ini, I assume conda too, but perhaps https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS <https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS> should be added, especially if we're going to advertise it. - How well supported are the various Fortran options for older versions of OS X?
