You need to look for this specific error in the config.log file, and find out 
why you cannot link C and Fortran.

Probably you need to specify -m32 for CFLAGS, because ifort is 32-bit by 
default, or else specify Intel's C compiler with CC. (I think "icc").

Please let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks.
