I mean gfortran:

Fortran is not native to Xcode.  I guess intel Fortran must have some 
sort of extra stuff for Xcode.  So, yes it is a matter of coding up the 
Xcode generator to create the right input for Xcode with Fortran (not a 
default option at the moment).  Most likely different for Intel and 
gfortran.
