The following information was posted today on the GCC mailing lists.
The RPMs enable people to try out GNU Fortran 95 on Linux systems
without having to build them from source.

Hope this is useful - and abide by the warning !

We have added snapshots of the tree-ssa branch to Fedora Core 2. The
idea is to allow more people to test the compiler. The RPM packages are
built for several architectures: x86, amd64, ppc and ia64.

To avoid clashes with the system compiler, the suffix -ssa is added to
all the binaries and the libraries go into a separate directory. So,
installing these RPMs will not overwrite the system compiler.

The plan is to update the snapshot every now and then. Probably twice a
month or so. Since these RPMs are slated for Fedora Core 2, which is
not yet released, you will find them in the development section of the
Fedora site:

I am also mirroring the latest x86 RPMs in my home page. It is not
necessary to download all the RPMs, just the ones for the front end that
you're interested in.

The current release is based on a 2003-11-12 snapshot. The usual
caveats:

     1. This is alpha software. Do not even try using it in a
        production environment.
     2. Although these RPMs use pristine upstream sources, do not report
        bugs to the FSF Bugzilla. Use http://www.redhat.com/bugzilla/
        to report bugs in the gcc-ssa RPMS.
