Description Erik B Knudsen 2018-01-26 13:11:03 UTC 
In the installed perl module F77.pm (in the FreeBSD section), the variable $gfortran is set to 'gfortran48'. The default version of gfortran installed on FeŕeeBSD 11 seems to be 6.
This causes the next line: $dir = `$gfortran -print-file-name=libgfortran.a`; to return empty. This in turn means that libgfortran is not compiled in when ExtUtils-F77 is used by applications, causing undefined refs.. See bug #225375.

patch to use the default gfortran instead of 4.8

This is to default to the whatever version of gfortran happens to be installed. instead of silently requiring 4.8
