I think the point we're trying to arrive at here is why you need a
FORTRAN compiler installed in the first place. Given that you didn't
even know you needed one until recently, it seems odd that you've
installed packages that require f77 to build.

Did you install R on purpose? If not, what pulled that in, and did you
install *that* on purpose?

Odds are one of your 1.5quadrillion USE flags is pulling in FORTRAN when
you don't even need it.
