I had to do the following in my last attempt (working with the Sumo release branch).

Add the following to IMAGE_INSTALL:
gfortran  gfortran-symlinks  libgfortran-dev

AND add the following to local.conf
FORTRAN_forcevariable = ",fortran"

The latter is to adjust the build of gcc to include Fortran support.
In prior Yocto releases I did not have to use the _forcevariable construct, but I don't recall why I used that form for Sumo.
