No. The gcc is patched to compile FORTRAN, and you must have the
gcc-2.7.2.1-1*rpms I made at the same time.

g77 has been mentioned quite a few times on this list now, and I've
received even more private e-mail asking about it, so I hope Red Hat
will put it into their official RPMs with their next release. g77 is
mor compatible than, and produces faster code in shorter time, than
f2c/fort77, so I'll hope they'll add it.

***
Note that the gcc-2.7.2.1-0.i386.rpm should be deleted, as it's
presence is caused by my connection going down.
