Well, yes.  But I suspect you would want all of R to be using same
fortran and that the way to do it is to rebuild R from source setting
a config option. The R Admin manual might have some useful details.

Before you recompile, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to edit R's Makeconf
file located in R_HOME/etc/Makeconf.

And I've heard back that he has a patch that should be applied this
week.
