Subject: [bug#42132] [PATCH] gnu: gfortran: Remove unusable versions.
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2020 22:48:19 +0200

The gfortran packages cannot be used without being wrapped with
gfortran-toolchain. However, as the comment in (gnu packages
commencement) explains, there cannot be more than one gfortran-toolchain
package because of ABI issues. Thus, versions of gfortran other than the
main one are useless.

* gnu/packages/gcc.scm (gfortran-4.8, gfortran-4.9, gfortran-5,
  gfortran-6, gfortran-7, gfortran-8, gfortran-9): Remove variables.
  (gfortran): Define the gfortran package based on the gcc variable.
