Absolutely not.

While we can add however many warnings and notes about how going without
Fortran/BLAS works but is not performant, the general expectation amongst t=
his
userbase, ports or not, assumes that some Fortran/BLAS implementation is al=
ways
available. This is simply one of those situations that can garner
negativity/pessimism on FreeBSD as a scientific computing platform, far bey=
ond
any reduced dependency footprint, even if it is a pilot error from not read=
ing
warnings (and nobody in this case will actually read and heed them). The
significant use of numpy and ecosystem amongst academia, particularly those=
 who
do not have the cycles to work through pilot errors like this, is another
factor.

Please refer to comment 15 as to why GCC is a runtime dependency. It does n=
ot
have to be with an alternative Fortran compiler.
