yes, I think so.

I don't think there's any material difference to this problem on  
4.3.x vs. 4.4.0

Rename all instances of libgfortran.a to something else (say  
libgfortran-static.a) **remembering to ranlib the new copy.

then the following should work:

gfortran-4.3 -nodefaultlibs  <your objects, files, libs etc > -o  
<your output> -lgfortranbegin -lgfortran-static -lgcc_eh -lgcc -lSystem

alternatively .. I would expect this to work if you don't need static  
gcc (X = 4 or 5 depending on your system)

gfortran-4.3 -nodefaultlibs  <your objects, files, libs etc > -o  
<your output> -lgfortranbegin -lgfortran-static -lgcc_s.10.X -lgcc - 
lSystem

These are hand-typed lines, so beware typos (the principle should  
apply tho).
