Research direction

Start by inventorying how the multibuild and gfortran_install subrepositories are used for Linux Docker builds and macOS gfortran compilers. Compare those responsibilities with cibuildwheel, then determine whether the unused archives directory can be removed and gfortran_utils.sh vendored. Done means the build works through the chosen approach without the unnecessary scripting subrepositories.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should look at cibuildwheel and possibly removing the complicated scripting subrepos. We actually use very little of multibuild, mainly to build in dockers for linux. Instead, cibuildwheel could do this for us. We also use gfortran compilers from gfortran_install on macos, but the subrepo carries an unused achives directory. We could vendor the single gfortran_utils.sh script file instead.
