I just looked at what's going on here, and I threw up a little in my  
mouth.

It's just horrendous. For some reason, they placed a whole bunch of  
ObjC-building code into darwin.c, then had it call this function in  
darwin-c.c. If I try to put that function into darwin.c, all hell  
breaks loose. So even though the Fortran stuff wouldn't call the Obj-C  
stuff in darwin.c, it appears like it still needs the darwin-c.c file  
linked in with it.
