Fair enough.  Would you mind reporting back later today, then?  One 
possibility is to do the changes that fix our primary languages (C, C++, 
and Java, since it's easy) and deal with Fortran later.  If we can get 
the mainline bootstrapping and passing regression tests on primary 
platforms, but leaving Fortran broken, that might be worthwhile.
