Building R with f2c - still needed?

Does anyone have a need to use f2c rather than a Fortran compiler to build 
R?

We used f2c up until a few months ago as a last line of defence against
crappy Fg77 code on m68k/arm (one or both, it changed at times).

I'd be hesitant about throwing it out, but it is of course your call.

Thanks, Dirk

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
