This appears to be a build within the OpenBSD ports system
framework.  You'll probably need to ask whoever is responsible
for the OpenBSD port for help.

gcc-4.2.1 was released 5 years ago, and gcc-4.2.x had reached
its EOL some 3 years ago.  I believe that it may be prudent to
download gcc-4.7.1 from the GCC home page and build gfortran
from outside of the OpenBSD port system.  Instructions for
building gcc can be found of the GCC website.
