That is somewhat intentional.  We want all Fortran ports to be compiled with
the same compiler and that implies the same USE_GCC.  Not doing so is asking
for trouble with runtime libraries.  If a port needs a newer version it sho=
uld
set IGNORE directing the user to modify his DEFAULT_VERSIONS.  If it's stuc=
k on
an older version it should probably set BROKEN with a similar message.

If I were the maintainer of bsd.gcc.mk I would do the same there.  It's sim=
pler
to maintain.  It makes it more likely that users have only one version of g=
cc
installed and therefore have fewer problems with runtime libraries which me=
ans
there are fewer support questions to deal with.  And marking old ports BROK=
EN
allows us to get rid of them faster, or it might incentivise their maintain=
ers
to fix them with newer gcc faster.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, please don't introduce any of the bsd.gc=
c.mk
"magic" in fortran.mk.  Making it possible to choose "10-devel" as gcc defa=
ult
would be nice though.
