Howdy Michael!

I am a bit stumped. Your compile problem is usually caused by a failure to 
detect what type of fortran compiler is being used, and setting the appropriate 
C pre-processor flag in config.h (pgiFortran, for the ifort compiler.)

But I see from your config.log that this *is* happening, so why can't the C 
pre-processor figure out what to do?

Could it be something to do with your system time being so different from the 
time that these files were created? I don't understand how that can happen. Did 
you not generate the makefiles with the configure script, just before running 
make on this platform?
