A native Fortran compielr is needed (seems to be) to + build the Fortran frontend of the cross-compiler. + Even if you don't want to build the Fortran frontend, gcc tries to see + if it has one, but fails. This is no problem, as the Fortran frontend + will not be built. There is nothing to be worry about (unless you do + want to build the Fortran frontend, of course). + +Fix: + None so far. It's a spurious error, so there will probably never be + a fix for this issue. + +Workaround: + None needed, it's a spurious error. + +-------------------------------- -- cgit v0.10.2-6-g49f6
