Well, I'm stumped.  Apparently, the Fortran-77 compatibility library is
referencing symbols that it doesn't define and that the Fortran-90
compiler/linker can't locate.  You might try searching the libraries in
"/opt/SUNWspro/WS6/lib" for definitions of the above symbols.  If you
find it, then append it to the FLIBS macro in "macros.make".

Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is or what to tell you.

Good luck.
