First, check the "config.log" file to see if it gives a reason why
conftestf.o could not be linked with conftest.o.  

One possibility is that your C compiler is producing 32-bit objects
(because you have "-m32" in CFLAGS) but your ifort Fortran compiler is
generating 64-bit objects (because you don't have -m64 in FFLAGS or
FCFLAGS).

Another reason we have seen for this in the past is a user having a
private "sort" command that the configure script makes use of as if it
were the Unix sort command, resulting in "Broken pipe" messages in the
config.log file.

If you can't figure out the cause from the error messages near the end
of config.log, please send us the information requested here:
