Hmm, that's really weird. I would like you to take a new copy of 4.1.2 and 
untar it, and first try to build without fortran, like this:

./configure --disable-fortran --disable-dap --disable-netcdf-4 && make check

If that works, then try:

make distclean && FC=pgif90 ./configure --disable-dap --disable-netcdf-4 && 
make check

Thanks,

Ed
