I left this out because I wanted to get buildworld working first.
The interesting question are:
a) Are this options (NO_OBJC and NO_FORTRAN) in use?
b) If you use them, do you prefer a compiler without the support or only
without the libs / frontends?

The code is intentionally structured to allow the full removal of all
parts, I'm just not sure wether we want this. Don't waste the time with
a NO_CXX or NO_CPP option, the former doesn't work because we do use C++
in our tree (groff!) and the later just isn't worth the effort for
GCC 3.4.
