Well, it's the afternoon but anyway:

On my 32-bit ubuntu laptop using Sage's own Fortran the only doctest
failures for 4.3.rc0 are the ones I also had on a different 64-bit
machine, namely:


        sage -t  "devel/sage/doc/en/constructions/calculus.rst"
        sage -t  "devel/sage/doc/en/bordeaux_2008/nf_introduction.rst"

This seems to confirm that for both of us, using a system-wide
gfortran (which is necessary to get R to build on these machines)
causes the mysterious complex conjugation effect.

What now, I wonder?
