I didn't see any notification about this; maybe it wasn't a concensus decision? There are satisfactory pre-built gfortran 5.2 compilers (including libgomp, although that is off by default and the testsuite wants acc as well as OpenMP) available in cygwin64 (test version) and (apparently) mingw-64. -- Tim Prince
