Hmm, where is the problem?

Configure does the following (from config.site):

# The command which runs the the FORTRAN compiler.
# If unspecified, a search is made for g77, fort77, f77, f90, xlf, cf77,
# and fc (in that order).  If none of these is found, f2c is used if
# found; otherwise, R cannot be compiled.  The search mechanism can be
# changed using the `--with-g77', `--with-f77', and `--with-f2c' command
# line options to configure.
# FC=

So if `f2c is not found' I would assume that a Fortran compiler was
found, no?
