Try euse -I fortran.
If anything besides gcc pops up, you should have one.

That doesn't appear to work like it should then.  I get this:

root@fireball / # euse -I fortran
global use flags (searching: fortran)
************************************************************
[+ CD   ] fortran - Adds support for fortran (formerly f77)

Installed packages matching this USE flag:
sys-devel/gcc-4.4.5

local use flags (searching: fortran)
************************************************************
no matching entries found
root@fireball / #

Thing is, I know a couple packages use it on this rig because I just had
to recompile them.  Cantor and R are two that I recall.

Maybe it is because it is not a option in the list?  The USE flag that is.
Iirc you had problems with -fortran, because you have packages that really
need fortran. My suggestion was for people like Peter, who have no problems
without fortran. It shows only packages which could perform better, if a
fortran compiler is available and otherwise fallback to a C implementation. At
least, I think it does :)

Thing is, I switched it back and programs on here now need fortran to build. So, euse is not reporting it but R and Cantor won't build without fortran. Basically, euse should also report R and cantor but it isn't. If mine isn't reporting that, then Peter's may not either.
