I haven't got a clue, it was trial and error basicly.
It complained about mpfr and gmp for the 'fortran frontend'.

Since I already had gmp installed, I went for mpfr, failing to find
any precompiled RPM's for Fedora/RedHat based distros, i used the
source.

I don't have a clue on how bitbake works and how to prevent this, so
maybe a note somewhere would help fellow Fedora/RedHat chaps.
