It's one package (cantor) that has one dependency (R) that is optional
(USE=-R) that falls squarely into the "if you aren't sure if you need it
then you probably don't" category. So for most users, no, you don't need
to build gcc with fortran. Dale's just playing it safe, I guess, after
the admittedly scary "I'm all broken and stuff!" warning message cantor
throws at you.
