	From sgk@troutmask.apl.washington.edu Wed Jul 10 00:33:34 2013

	The few ports that I use, which need Fortran, seem to just
	work.

That's not my experience.
For example french/aster, a major FE suite,
fails on both amd64 and ia64:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/176326

As far as I know it fails on places other than fortran,
but it is largely "a fortran port".

	OpenMPI is
	the only Fortran code that I routinely build outside of the
	ports.

Please elaborate.
I don't know much about the differences between OpenMPI
and mpich. The latter seems to work:

# pkg info -xr mpi
mpich2-1.3.2.p1_1,5:
        scotch-5.1.12.b.e
        astk-serveur-1.11.0
        blocksolve95-3.0_10
        ParMetis-4.0_1
