Hmm.. Doing a search on

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents

using options Keyword g2c-pic
            packages that contain files or directories, whose
                  names contain the keyword
            testing
            Intel x86

points to g77 packages.

Probably installing this one is a better solution ?
