I compiled GCC from CVS a while ago just to get support for recent
Fortran features:

   gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20041116 (experimental)

I haven't had a problem with it, but I'm not doing any serious number
crunching and I'm only using Fortran 90 features. However, I do follow
the gfortran mailing list quite closely, and the developers do a lot of
checks with extensive test suites / large applications, etc. Users have
posted a number of positive reports as well.
