I'm still looking for a sponsor to review and upload the calceph package on salsa:

Unfortunately I am very short on time, hopefully Ole/some else could help you here.

It has some issues with the arm64 cross build. The build normally requires gfortran, which is at the root of the issue. If I set the build dependency as `gfortran` then the cross build complains that the dependency cannot be met. If instead I set it to `gfortran:native`, then the build succeeds, albeit without the fortran modules, and then the install fails for the `libcalceph-fortran-dev` sub-package as a result. Any advice is welcome on how to fix the cross-compiling of the FORTRAN bindings of the library. (Or if it cannot be fixed, maybe we can disable the subpackage for non-native platforms -- but I don't know how to do that either.)

This needs to be fixed at toolchain level and there may not be much that you can do here. Using :native here is probably wrong. I would suggest removing :native and let the cross-build
fail. It is not a critical step but just good to have.

Thanks for the help in advance,
