[Bug fortran/58276] "make install-host" gfortran is not functional

--- Comment #4 from Larry Baker <baker at usgs dot gov> ---
I suppose a different way of asking whether this should be considered a bug is
to ask what should gfortran's behavior be when libgfortran.spec is missing?  Is
the correct behavior to continue with the link step as though libgfortran.spec
were empty?  Which, I assume, would require the link command to specify all its
libraries explicitly.

Do you think this is really just gfortran being overly picky?

The question I have is, what is the intended behavior of a GCC "make install-host" with regard to the functioning of the compilers.  gcc and g++ are functional; gfortran is not.  Is that what the GCC maintainers expect?  Is that what the gfortran maintainers expect?
