gfortran: use version 8 by default to match our C and C++ compiler

We recently updated to gcc 8.x, but our default Fortran compiler is still at
version 7.x. This causes trouble for all packages that mix C++ and Fortran
code, like R does.

Unfortunately, gfortran8 is marked broken on Darwin, so we cannot switch on
that platform yet:
