It is unlikely that the base system will ever re-import a Fortran compiler. Fortran is not required to build the base system, nor is it a POSIX requirement, so like all other languages in that class -- many of which are of significantly greater popularity than Fortran nowadays -- you'll simply have to install it from ports. GCC's command line for linking objects into an executable can be complicated, but that's not significantly different compared to c or c++ programs and not significantly different when compiling using the LLVM toolchain. Much of that complexity only occurs when linking against large external bodies of code, like QT or Gnome.
