If you want to download a precompiled version of gfortran, then
take a look at gfortran.org.  You can bootstrap gfortran if you
want.

If your code makes heavy use of modules and derived types,
you'll probably hits some bugs.  Before reporting any bugs
go to gfortran.org and use the "bug report" to get a listing
of known problems.

Let us know about your successes and failures in trying to
compile and run your code.  If you do hit a failure and you
think it is not currently in the bugzilla database, see
if you can reproduce the problem in a small example program.
