[R-SIG-Mac] Catalina and gfortran

[Kevin Ushey]

There is a package providing gfortran 6.1 on the page at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/, and that should be used
now with the El Capitan builds of R.

FWIW, I've had success using gfortran from Homebrew gcc; you just need
to ensure that the correct Fortran libraries are passed along during
compilation. E.g. I have:

    FLIBS = -L`gfortran -print-file-name=libgfortran.dylib | xargs dirname`

in my `~/.R/Makevars`.

Best,
Kevin
