Research direction

Start by reviewing how this repository ships the macOS gfortran toolchain and libraries based on the linked GCC 11.3.0-2 release. Confirm the expected replacement version and packaging scope with maintainers; done means a newer supported GCC/gfortran version and its libraries are shipped.

Description

On macOS, this repo currently ships gfortran and its libraries based on a modified version 11.3.0 https://github.com/isuruf/gcc/releases/tag/gcc-11.3.0-2

GCC 11 has reached EOL 6 months ago, so it seems like a good plan to upgrade to a newer version. I would be willing to help, if someone can clarify what the expectations are (I am a Homebrew and GCC maintainer).
