The above message contained the following:

The "-Xa" option should probably have been in the CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS
environment variable rather than the CC environment variable.

What do the "-Xa" and "-h2" options do?

The file "configure.out" contained the following:

    checking user-defined Fortran-77 compiler "f90"... failed to compile test 
program

The reason for the problem was in the file "config.log":

    configure:1383: checking user-defined Fortran-77 compiler "f90"
    configure:1389: f90 -c  conftest.f
    conftest.f:
    f90 fatal : /usr/lib/f90com : Not enough space
    f90 fatal : /usr/lib/f90com command error : 12

You'll have to increase the amount of space available for the build and
try again.  Here are the steps:

    1.  Increase the amount of available space.

    2.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    3.  Perform steps 3 through 9 near the end of the file INSTALL.html.
