if anyone's tried to use their base compiler and pkgsrc gfortran, they
encounter errors like the following (building math/R):
checking how to get verbose linking output from gfortran... -v
checking for Fortran 77 libraries of gfortran... -L/current/pkgsrc/math/R/work/.buildlink/lib -L/current/pkgsrc/math/R/work/.x11-buildlink/lib -L/usr/pkg/gcc7/lib/gcc/x86_64--netbsd/7.3.0 -L/usr/pkg/gcc7/lib/gcc/x86_64--netbsd/7.3.0/../../../../x86_64--netbsd/lib -L/usr/pkg/gcc7/lib/gcc/x86_64--netbsd/7.3.0/../../.. -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/gcc7//lib/. -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/gcc7/lib/. -lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -lpthread

checking whether gfortran appends extra underscores to external names... no
checking whether mixed C/Fortran code can be run... configure: WARNING: cannot run mixed C/Fortran code
configure: error: Maybe check LDFLAGS for paths to Fortran libraries?
this is because of two problems:
1. configure finds fortran flags (FFLAGS) but only uses C flags to build
mixed code.
2. pkgsrc hides non-whitelisted paths, like the path to libgfortran.so.4
The following diff fixes both problems, although the first only by accident.

having gcc7-libs, means I whitelist the paths to the libraries, and also we
inject a specfile to them to all compilers, so it solves problem #1, so
even the C compiler knows where libgfortran.so.4 is.
ok to commit this?
p.s. I can probably do similar to split out gcc7-libgfortran without
libgcc_s and libstdc++.
