Comment (by kencu):

 so I'm building flang from llvm-11 locally without troubles...the current
 driver just passes the code off for compiling, but it now uses gfortran by
 default (configurable with an env var), so it's a bit easier than
 installing a custom fortran compiler as it was before.

 I could make it as a variant of clang to install flang, or as a fully
 separate subport...subport is cleaner, but requires building everything
 yet again. I will ponder.

 The next major step, getting flang to actually compile something itself,
 has started.... {{{flang-new}}}.

 it is available as of llvm-12. At present, it can respond to
 {{{-version}}} and {{{-h}}}, so not so robust yet.
