Hmm.. it turns out all I need to do is LDADD+=lfrtbegin, or make sure that
f77 is used to link rather than cc. I don't see a nice bsd.foo.mk variable
way of doing this..

However, this does remind me of the thread nearby on whether or not to
LDADD+=lstdc++. Don't they both boil down to "by the link stage, we no
longer know what language(s) the original source files were written in,
so we default to using cc to link"?

Cheers,
