I found the problem. The thing is the line below in gfortran.jam:

If I change this into

fortran.register-fortran-compiler gfortran.compile-fortran : FORTRAN : OBJ ;

my 'rule compile-fortran' is called. I have no clue what the function 
was of the additional ": <toolset>gfortran". I had just copied it from 
builtin.jam.
