Is it not the reason of the addition of 'gfortran-toolchain'? And I guess it should be the same issue for the other front-ends that GCC supports (Ada, etc.), isn't it? Well, is it not GCC related and not only C specific? I mean, I seems better to me to remove "@subsection The GCC toolchain" from "Application setup" and then to retitle the subsection "The GCC toolchain" in "Development" instead of "Packages for C Development". Keeping for now how it is worded and letting the GFortran use case as an exercise for the reader. ;-) All the best, simon
