This breaks bootetrapping of fortran.  Fortran is not built as a build-
tool.  Only a tool to build fortran is built.  This tool is like the
internal tools for sh and libcurses, etc.  It must be built in the host
environment, since the version built in the target environment may not
run.

Tests of tools need to test building from an old and foreign environment,
e.g., 3.3 for alpha.
