Sure, I understand that it's compiling C sources.  But if we're using 
gfortran, it should be using the exact GCC that is providing that 
fortran implementation, rather than clang, in my opinion.  GCC will be 
correctly configured to look in the right places for its libraries, as 
well as perhaps patched to ensure that the gcc*-libs package runtime 
library paths are correctly used.

I wouldn't be certain, for example, that clang would correctly use:

  https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/pkgsrc-extra/blob/main/gcc14-macos-libs/files/specs.pkgsrc

in this situation.
