It is not  an error message, it’s a warning. Harmless; at least it doesn’t harm me.

I am using gfortran 4.8 (from r.research.att.com) without any problems on OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Did you use sudo as in

sudo tar fvxz gfortran-4.8.2-darwin13.tar.bz2  -C /

which worked for me. Do not unpack it somewhere else and then try moving usr to / .
Use the command above.
