Comment (by kencu):

 Flang is in LLVM-11, but it doesn't work to compile fortran code yet. It
 requires the installation of a completely separate fortran compiler that
 does the actual fortan compiling at the point in time. That compiler does
 not do any ARM compiling, as far as I know. It's a tried-and-true
 commercial fortran compiler that was a competitor for gcc's fortran
 compiler, and I guess they threw in the towel and donated it to the LLVM
 project, to be gradually integrated into LLVM.

 SO - useless for us at present. Although it's coming.

 I'll add flang to the llvm offerings in due course, I guess -- although
 what use it will be I am not sure, other than for testing.

 At some point, it will be fully integrated to compile FORTRAN to LLVM
 bitcode and then become a full member of the team.
