This is orthogonal to F9x support; the current autoconf uses the same behavior.

There is only a check to get verbose output (for AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS), unless I'm misremembering; is this what you are referring to? Does AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS work with the Absoft compiler? Again, this is orthogonal to F9x support, since the verbose-output macro is directly copied from the current autoconf. > Some compiler behaves a bit differently when called with > different options, should the previous test use the AC_FC_SRCEXT ? > making this before the compiler check ? AC_FC_SRCEXT is for the user to specify a desired source extension; if it's not specified, .f is assumed on the KISS principle (there doesn't seem to be any better choice). It's certainly possible for the user to call AC_FC_SRCEXT before calling AC_FC_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS, if that's what you're worried about. Steven
