But you used "fetch manually"... I think it would be better to use
"comes on CD" or something like this. I haven't reopened the PR, because
of your problems below.

man ld:
---snip---
-memulation
Emulate the emulation linker. You can list the available emula-
tions with the --verbose or -V options.
If the -m option is not used, the emulation is taken from the
"LDEMULATION" environment variable, if that is defined.
Otherwise, the default emulation depends upon how the linker was
configured.
---snip---
If you can't change the emulation in lf95, you may perhaps have to write
a ld wrapper which replaces the emulation. We have something like this
in the icc and ifc ports (not for changing the emulation, but for other
things).

Just send-pr the new (working) port again (this will open up a new PR)
with a working mail address. :-)
Or try to get a ports committer interested in helping you...
Bye,
Alexander.
