Not sure if it's changed, but last i checked a few years back, most of the BLAS/LAPACK etc. stuff was f77, which should 'do' with f2c (albeit, perhaps not as fast) and is at least partly why f2c was hosted at netlib..

I had no idea, that explains so much! I was wondering how these open source numerical systems were building fortran code "so well", as in not a huge operational burden. My understanding is that the OSS fortran compilers are used for dev/debug, but when it comes to production, commercial Fortran compilers for your platform vendor offer much better performance.
