--- Comment #5 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Larry Baker from comment #4) > I suppose a different way of asking whether this should be considered a bug > is to ask what should gfortran's behavior be when libgfortran.spec is > missing?

No it is not being overly picky as there is no library to link against when it comes to the link stage so it complains about libgfortran.spec being missing which itself describes how to link.
