Almost the same as compiling 3.4:

Well Fortran is called f95 now. The main problem is that the HEAD release
may work today and won't compile tomorrow. Your chances are better if you
won't compile java - those guys can't understant the meaning of "stage 3:
bug fixes only" and regulary replace a hundred odd files with the result
that libjava won't compile any more - they certainly fit there steriotype.
