Hm, are you telling us that your compiler is always outputting
something when it compiles?

cat >conftest.f <<EOF
       program conftest
       end
EOF

/usr/absoft/bin/f77 -o conftest conftest.f 2>/dev/null

/usr/absoft/bin/f77 -o conftest conftest.f >/dev/null


Also, what the heck is doing this:

| configure:1069: /usr/absoft/bin/f77 -E conftest.fpp
| conftest.fpp:2: 
|      yes
|      ^
| Non-numeric character at (^) in label field [info -f g77 M LEX]
| configure:1075: result: no

in the log file?  The `[info -f g77 M LEX]' seems to indicate that,
yes, we are running g77!!!  Who is Absoft?  Are they selling support
for GNU programs?  In fact, the test itself reveals something
frightening: the input is:

#ifdef __GNUC__
  yes
#endif

and running `/usr/absoft/bin/f77 -E conftest.fpp' on this does produce
the `yes' (as demonstrated by the error above).  What I don't
understand is that nevertheless, it tried to compile it!  It probably
doesn't understand `-E' the way Autoconf expects.

Could you give us more information on your ``compiler''?  Its
--version for instance might say things :) :) :)  Or a man page.

Steven, do you know that beast?

Also, is -E an common option for Fortran?  Does Fortran naturally
supports CPP?  Are there other programs to run to emulate CPP than
`$F77 -E'?
