I did something comparable: Given that the upcoming Debian distribution 
(I never can remember its nickname) supports gcc-4.1 (including 
gfortran-4.1) I requested from the HDF help-desk when they think they 
support gfortran (because the HDF library default in the Debian testing 
environment still is compiled with g77).

Their answer was: Spring 2007.
