You need a matching gcc set: the gcc4 support routines are not matching 
those for gcc3.

Since your gcc postdates your OS, I suggest you get gfortran from gcc 
4.2.0 to match.  In what sense is this a 'scratch' distro?  I'd be 
surprised if a distro shipped with gcc 4.2.0 (released 2007-05-13) and an 
outdated kernel.
