With clang the behavior of `-isysroot` is also different on Darwin. The man page of gcc explains it better:
```
    This option is like the --sysroot option, but applies only to
    header files (except for Darwin targets, where it applies to
    both header files and libraries).
```

As Fortran doesn't use header files (at least not by default), `-isysroot` ends up unused on other targets.

I guess we could use `--sysroot` instead, but I wanted to match what our build system does when building C/C++ sources with clang, which is use `-isysroot` on Darwin.
