I noticed this page now has a broken link to
  http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
which I believe is due to you guys now redirecting to gcc.gnu.org instead
of mirroring the actual pages.

You may want to adjust the link to http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ 
instead, for example.

Also, let me include our dedicate list fort...@gcc.gnu.org and provide
the text this crew is using for their own description:

  Gfortran is the name of the GNU Fortran project, developing a free 
  Fortran 95/2003 compiler for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. The 
  gfortran development effort uses an open development environment in 
  order to attract a larger team of developers and to ensure that gfortran 
  can work on multiple architectures and diverse environments.

You may want to reuse that. 

One thing I noticed is that your page really referes to g77 when we now 
provide a more modern Fortran frontend.  So, I would not refer to g77 at 
all, and also adjust the link your current have to "the online g77 
documentation" to instead refer to
  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ref/gfortran/
which will also redirect to the documentation of the latest released 
version.  (Do not follow the redirect, but really use the link as I
specified it.)

Hope this helps,
Gerald
