This is a remnant of the gfotran transition. During the transition, a .3gf was added to libraries and package names for allowing a distinction between the g77 generated libraries and gfortran generated ones. >From your perspective, the fact that the file names have a 3gf should not affect functionality at all. If it does, please let me know.
