Because the original report links statically (as can be deduced from the
presence of libgfortran.a). As I mentioned, static linking is broken but
dynamic works. FWIW, I suspect the output of ldd in comment #4 refers to the
system provided libgfortran, as neither librt nor libquadmath is present.

Thanks, I'll have to take a look at this later tonight.
