I hadn't thought about this. Actually a Fedora user recently reported a 
similar bug along these lines--if you have the old compilers installed 
alongside current compilers, configure will pick up g77 ahead of 
gfortran. I never noticed this because the Fedora build system (and my 
own system) wouldn't have that installed when it builds the package. 
According to the reporter of the bug, this can also be corrected using 
the configure option "--with-f77=gfortran". I have added this to the 
Fedora package for the next release, and to the EPEL  5 package.
