Hi Noel,
I know next to nothing about fortran application, so can you tell me more?

Is it just necessary to use a different linker? Then you can define new 
'fortran-exe' target and define generator for that type so that it invokes 
any linker you like. If this is too little information, just ask.

If you need to pass some extra options to linker, then <linkflags> might be 
helpful.
