My attempts to build the current 1.7.4rc tarball with versions 8.0 and 9.0 of the Portland Group compilers fails miserably on compilation of mpi-f08-types.F90.
I am sort of surprised by the attempt to build Fortran 2008 support w/ such old compilers. I think that fact itself is the real bug here, right? With pgi-10.0 I see configure say: checking if building Fortran 'use mpi' bindings... yes checking if building Fortran 'use mpi_f08' bindings... no But pgi-8.0 and 9.0 both get identified as "good" compilers. pgi-9.0: checking if building Fortran 'use mpi' bindings... yes checking if Fortran compiler supports BIND(C)... yes checking if Fortran compiler supports BIND(C) with LOGICAL params... yes checking if Fortran compiler supports optional arguments... yes checking if Fortran compiler supports private... no checking if Fortran compiler supports abstract... yes checking if Fortran compiler supports asynchronous... no checking if Fortran compiler supports procedure... no checking size of Fortran type(test_mpi_handle)... 4 checking Fortran compiler F08 assumed rank syntax... not cached; checking checking for Fortran compiler support of TYPE(*), DIMENSION(..)... no checking Fortran compiler F08 assumed rank syntax... no checking which mpi_f08 implementation to build...
