>Description:

something in the handling of USE_LANGUAGES+= fortran manages to not
get F77 set and we end up with "F77=" in our MAKE_ENV.  However, some
packages will try to use F77 if set.  For example, math/octave-forge
calls /usr/pkg/bin/mkoctfile from math/octave-current during the build
and because F77 is set to an empty value, it fails to build its fortran
sources.

	
>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/math/octave-forge && make

note that mkoctfile complains of not being able to build fortran sources

then 

cd /usr/pkgsrc/math/octave-forge && make show-var VARNAME=MAKE_ENV

and note F77 is not properly set.

	
>Fix:

not sure.  The compiler.mk stuff is magic to me right now.
