Please do NOT do that. The gcc family runs on many different
operating systems where there are already vendor-provided compilers
named f77, f90, and f95. Historically, the GNU compilers have had
names like gcc, g++, g77, gpc, gnat, gfortran, ..., avoiding name
collisions with compiler products from other suppliers. It is
generally only in the GNU/Linux and BSD worlds that the GNU compilers
have also been installed in /usr/bin under the names cc and f77.
Let's keep distinctive names for the GNU compilers.
