AFAIU, neither gcc nor gfortran is a 'compiler', nor indeed a 'linker'. 
They are both front-ends which, dependent on command line parameters, 
invoke a compiler proper, and then a linker to combine the object files. 
I think you will find that gcc and gfortran ultimately invoke the same 
linker, ld. So not strange at all...
