I've generally built and run LAM with that same gcc with which the Fortran
compilers are compatible. Then only the Fortran linkable libraries could
be different among the LAM builds, and there might not be any difference in
them, among Fortran compilers with the same linkage conventions.
Applications built with one Fortran will run on the LAM built with
another. I've recently tried mixing Fortran compilers only on the x86-64
OS. There you do need totally independent 32- and 64-bit LAM installations.
