| Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question.
Does gfortran translate fortran source into C?
How does gcc fit into the compile and link process?
Any links to explain this?
Thanks,

No.

It doesn't.

http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/compilerstatus.html
The front end generates a "parse tree".
The "middle end" converts this parse tree
to a GENERIC form required by
the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) back end.
The back end emits assembler.
