Thanks to all those who replied, especially Eric. It seems clear the issue is/was with gfortran. I had not installed the system gfortran so I was using the sage one. I now have the system one (7.4.0, same as Eric). I'm not entirely sure how to ensure sage uses the system version (in principle I view the self-containedness of sage as one of its major virtues). Using make build -j4 has built a sage 9.0 that starts up OK (not fully tested yet), and since I don't use R that should be fine.
